Frank Whitzig
 
Frank M. Whitzig, son of Frank and Catherine Whitzig, was born March 23, 1869, 
at Liberty. He passed away at a Boscobel hospital Jan. 22, 1952, after a long 
illness at the age of 82 years, 10 months.

He was united in marriage to Mabel Simmons Dec. 25, 1901. To this union two 
children were born--a son William, and a daughter Florence. (Mrs. Irvin 
Richter). 

His wife and son William preceded him in death. Mrs. Whitzig passed away 10 
years ago and Wm. just a year later. 

He leaves to mourn his daughter Florence (Mrs. Irvin Richter), where he had made 
his home since his wife's death, also two sisters, Mrs. Mary Dempsey, Fennimore; 
Mrs. Elizabeth Stienforth, Winnebago, Minn., and a brother George also of 
Fennimore, five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Although Mr. Whitzig 
had lived to a ripe old age, he was always ready and willing to help others 
before ill health prevailed. He will be sadly missed by every one who knew and 
loved him. He was grandpa to every one. 

Funeral services were held Jan. 24, 1952 at 1:30 p.m. in the Thoni & Godager
