Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Obituary of Frank Paquelet, Louisville Herald, 9-16-1954 One of the oldest active furniture dealers in Ohio, a former funeral director more than 70 years, Frank Paquelet of Louisville, died Monday in Mercy Hospital. Death was due to a heart attack. Mr. Paquelet, who was 93, had been associated in the funeral business 72 years and despite his advanced age still helped in the furniture store on S. Chapel Street in Louisville until his unexpected death. Many people marveled at his excellent health, especially during his third trip abroad with his wife, Mrs. Mary Paquelet, two years ago. The couple attended the 35th International Eucharistic Congress at Barcelona, Spain. One purser, checking the Paquelets' passports, insisted there was a mistake in Mr. Paquelet's age. He was 91 and Mrs. Paquelet assured the purser the age was correct. Born at Nashville in Holmes County, his parents moved to Louisville when he was 6 years old. He helped his father, the late Stephen Paquelet, make furniture and coffins and became a partner in the 1880's. His father retired in 1908 and Frank and a brother, the late Charles Paquelet, went into partnership in 1907 establishing a funeral home in Canton on Cleveland Avenue NW. The partnership was dissolved in 1918 when Frank took over the Louisville business. Charles kept the Canton business and expanded with a store and funeral home in Massillon. After Charles' death, his son, Charles Jr., took over the business which he still operates. Frank's funeral home in Louisville now is operated by his son, Raymond, and his grandson, Richard Paquelet. The Paquelets now operating the funeral homes represent the sixth generation of morticians. Mr. Paquelet, who resided at 223 S. Chapel St., was a member of St. Louis Catholic Church; Third Order of St. Francis; Knights of Columbus and Stark County Historical society. He was one of the organizers of the Northeast Association of Funeral Directors. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Paquelet; two sons, Raymond of Louisville and Edward of Chicago; three daughters, Mrs. Martha Callan and Mrs. Helen Sherman, both of Louisville and both employed in the clerk of court's office in the courthouse at Canton and Mrs. Blanche Hartman of Louisville; five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. A Requiem High Mass was sung in St. Louis Church Thursday at 9:30 a. m. Burial was in the church cemetery. The Knights of Columbus met at the parlors Wednesday at 7:45 P. M. and Order of St. Francis at 8:30. The latter organization prayed the rosary. Active pall bearers were six members of the local Knights of Columbus, namely, Gerald Romary, Robert Schockling, Leo Gulling, Eugene Evrard, Martin Buchmann and R. X. Paumier. Honorary pallbearers were J. Leland Kerstetter, Lowell Kagey, Dr. A. E. Boyles, J. H. Soehnlen, Clarence Ruflin and Homer Kandel. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 12:54:17 EDT From: CDzurec@aol.com To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: Subject: OBIT:Beuchat, 1924, Stark Co.
