Effingham Democarts, Friday, January 7, 1898
John Frankenstein, an old resident of this city, died last Saturday of heart disease, induced by lagrippe and injuries he received on the Vandalia Railroad some twelve years ago. About a year ago, as a debilitating result of the railroad injury he had something like the la grippe, from which he recovered sufficiently to partially resume his daily labor. About eight weeks ago, however, he was taken ill again, death resulting from heart failure. The funeral occurred Sunday from the Lutheran Church, the remains having been interred in the Lutheran cemetery. The deceased was an exemplary citizen and was beloved by a large circle of friends. Relatives and friends attended the funeral from Terre Haute, Altamont and Champaign. He was born in Germany in 1839. In 1869 he came to see this country and remained four years. In 1873 he returned to Germany and brought his family over, having located in Effingham. He leaves a wife, Adeline, and seven children to mourn their loss, as follows: William, Lena, Richard, Charles, Henry, Louise and Emma. All reside here in Effingham except Lena who is married to William Alt and resides in Terre Haute. Charles is a student and is preparing himself for the ministry.
Card of Thanks: We desire to this manner to thank our friends and neighbors who so kindly and tenderly assisted us during our recent sorrow.
