August FRANKE, The Well Known Drug-
gist, Expires From an Attack
of Apoplexy.
August FRANKE, one of our best known
citizens, was suddenly called from the
scenes of earth on Sunday evening,
November 12. Mr. FRANKE had been
in ill-health for several months, but
during most of the time he was able to
give attention to his business. Sunday
evening he was suddenly attacked
with apoplexy, and died in a short
time. August FRANKE was born March
31, 1847, at Osnabruck, Province of
Hanover, Germany. His parents were
Carl and Johanna (CRAMER) FRANKE.
He came to Wapakoneta in July, 1867,
and after clerking in F. FRITCH's drug
store, he became a partner of the busi-
ness. Four years later, he bought out
Dr. MEYER, and has conducted the
business ever since. He married
Caroline MOSER in 1869, who together
with six children survive him. The
funeral services took place at the resi-
dence yesterday, and was numerously
attended by relatives and friends.
Rev. R. STAVE, of St. Paul's church,
delivered the discourse and eloquently
eulogized the character and life of the
deceased. At 4:30 p. m. the re-
mains were taken to the Cincinnati
Crematory under and escort of members
of Auglaize lodge of Odd Fellows, and
incinerated. The sudden passing
away of Mr. FRANKE cast a gloom over
the community, and the bereaved
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
all our citizens.

The life of Steven T. Lyle was sacrificed last Friday to the
dangerous practice of "hopping sleighs." The youth
in the company of two other boys of his age, was enjoying
this sprt on Cental Avenue in Lima while on their way to
school. They "hopped" a bob sled loaded with logs
and driven by Mr. H. Crawford...The sleigh stuck the curb
throwing the logs and pinning young Lyle and his companion,
Brunett HALTERS to the ground. Both boys were carried to
their homes but it was evident that young Lyle could not live
as his skull was fractured... The parents of the boy are well
known in the eastern part of the county, where they resided
for many years prior to their removal to Lima about four
years ago.

Obituary / Additional
Information: Death of an Old Pioneer
Died – At his residence, in this county, on the 2nd inst.,
after a lingering illness, John Young, in his 90th year of
his age.
The deceased came here in 1847 from Mercer County where he
had resided many years previous. Born in Mason County,
Kentucky, on the 22nd day of December. A.D. 1888, he had
nearly reached his four and a half score of years, the time
allotted, ordinarily, for three generations of the human
family.
His parents removed to his native State, from Virginia, in
the perilous times after the Revolutionary War, when the wild
beasts of the forests and the still more savage Indian,
disputed the possession of its fertile soil, with the
advancing tide of white emigration. His father, during his
stay of a few years in Kentucky, was the companion and friend
of Boone and the other daring pioneers of that State, and
disliking the unsettled condition of land titles, which were
then arising there, he turned his eye towards the untamed
forests of Ohio, to which he removed, about the time of its
admission into the Union. His two sons, William and John -
the former the senior of the latter by over two years, and
still living, near Kossuth, in this county – were fast
approaching manhood, and imbibing the adventurous spirit of
their father. The family crossed the Ohio river at Columbus,
a short distance above Cincinnati, and after remaining in
that vicinity a shot time, their father took up his residence
near Dayton, then a very small village, where he remained
only about two years, when he removed to Miami county and
thence to Shelby, where he and his wife died, each over a
hundred years of age, thus camping on the wild frontier,
until their children mostly had grown to maturity, and the
tide of population had leaped too far beyond them in its
dashing march to be pursued.
Having been continually on the skirmish line of civilization,
and until long after he had arrived at manhood, the deceased
had enjoyed none of the adventures of older and more
cultivated communities. Unlettered and without any knowledge
of mechanical arts, he was left to pursue the very few
occupations of the first settlers. The ax and the plow were
his only means of support, though his fondness for the chase
furnished him an abundance of game until it fled from the
crowded tread of the white man. Thoroughly acquainted with
backwoods life he engaged in all the rough pastimes of
physical courage and feats of strength common among the iron
men of that day, and in these things he found few equals. He
was a great admirer of the Indian character of those early
times, before the corruption of civilized life had scarcely
reached them. He was familiar with the manners and customs
of the many tribes then inhabiting the region from Piqua to
the lakes, and often took part in the amusements and athletic
sports of their warriors. His recollections of them, and of
that day were vivid, and would form an interesting chapter in
pioneer life.
Like all others, he had his peculiar faults, though they were
of a personal character, by his stern integrity and honesty
no one questioned. The history of his humble career would be
instructive to the unnoticed and toiling millions, for it is
the part, in most respects, they much set. The distinguished
of the races furnish no guide to them, and are very few in
numbers in comparison to the myriads of those whose
biographies are never written.

Obituary /
Additional Information: The subject of this notice was one of
the heroes of the ill-fated Greely expedition to the north
and was well known in this county, having resided for several
years in St. Marys. He died last Wednesday at his home in
Indianapolis from a protracted illness due to the hardships
he was forced to undergo in the far north. The immediate
cause of his death was a cancerous growth which closed up
completely his digestive organs. Sergeant Fredrick had one of
the most adventurous careers in the history of the United
States army and navy. He was born at Dayton, Ohio on July 21,
1853 and spent the early years of his life in that city,
subsequently following the family's fortunes to St. Marys.
Here his mother died, the home was broken up and young
Frederick, then only thirteen years old and without a dollar
in his pocket went to Chicago, where he began life as a
messenger boy. After several years fighting against adversity
in the big city, he finally joined the regular army and
eventually became part of that historical trip to the far
north. Upon the return of the Greely expedition he was
mustered out of the service and given a position in the
meteorelogical bureau and was a few years ago raised to a
first lieutenant and put on the retired list of the army with
all the pay and allowances of such an official. He has
frequently visited this county since he has been located at
Indianapolis and has many good friends who admire his
character aside from the traits which made him famous.

theatre with some school friends and occupied a seat in the
balcony. She was found by the rescuers sitting in her seat as

Obituary / Additional Information:
Died on Sunday morning at half past 2:00 o'clock, Mrs. Henry
HOEWISCHER at the age of 53 years , 5 months, & 15 days,
born in Auglaize County, Ohio, on February 15th, 1840, the
daughter of Herman & Mragaret (KRUSE) LAMPING. The
deceased was the wife of Henry HOEWISCHER, living about two
miles west of Kettlersville, Ohio . On Friday morning she was
complaining of not feeling well, but nothing serious was
apprehended, & at her own request she was left alone a
few hours, the rest of the family going threshing to Fred
HOEWISCHER's . Ida, the youngest of the children, returned
home within a few hours & found her mother lying in a
peculiar position . She attempted to awaken her, but without
success . Becoming alarmed she sent to a neighbor for help .
Medical assistance was sent for, but without avail .
Paralysis had done its work . She never regained
consciousness, & on Sunday morning the chords that bound
her spirt to this earthy life were severed, & she entered
into a higher life that knows no death . Death at any time is
awful thing to contemplate, but when it strikes from the
midst of a loving family, the mother, it is doubly awful .
Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon & her
body laid to rest in the beautiful Lock Two Cemetery . An
immense concourse of people attended the funeral obsequies .
The deceased's maiden name was LAMPING . She was united in
marriage with Henry HOEWISCHERin 1855 & 13 children
blessed there wedded life . One had already passed to the
world beyond, & five girls & seven boys are living
& prosperous . Rev. BURKLE, of New Bremen. Ohio,
preached the funeral sermon . May her sprit, "beyond
this shadow land " find the peace & rest that this
world can not give . August 1893
