Gone To His Reward

Frank G. Cross, one of the old and respected residents of the town of
Winneconne, died at the Lakeside hospital in Oshkosh Tuesday night at 8
o'clock, aged sixty-one years. Cancer of the liver being the cause.

Deceased had been ailing for sometime with the above affliction.   On
Saturday June 14, he was taken to the hospital where an operation was
intended to be performed.  After diagnosing the case more completely it was
found that the operation would be of no avail.  The sufferer at the time
realized the danger and decided nothing could be done, so he bravely met
his death with faith in his Maker.

Mr. Cross made hosts of friends, all of whom hoped that something would
come about to spare his life, at the same time his widow and other
relatives hoped against hope until final diagnosis, when they prepared
themselves to be separated in this life for the loss of a kind husband and
thoughtful father.

Deceased had been a very active farmer.  Three years ago he retired and
took up a home at Allenville.  The following relatives survive him: Mrs.
Cross, two sons, John T. and Daniel B. Cross, also three brothers, J.S.
Cross of Winneconne, W.D., Staples, Minn. and W.H. Cross of Campbell, Minn.
The funeral will be Friday with services at the residence at Allenville at
10:30 a.m. and at the Baptist church at 11 a.m.  

Rev. Thomas W. Gales of Winneconne will officiate and Winneconne Masons
will present the Masonic ritual both at the house and at the grave at the
Bell cemetery.
