Frank Rosenthal, Well Known Dray Man, Dies Friday After A Stroke
Frank Rosenthal, 69, drayman in this city for nearly thirty years, died at 4:45 p.m. Friday from the effects of a stroke which he suffered Thursday evening.
Until Thursday Mr. Rosenthal was apparently in good health, although he had not been working since last September when he left the conduct of his business largely in the hands of the persons who had worked for him during the past years. He suffered a stroke at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening and from that hour he failed rapidly.
Mr. Rosenthal's sudden death is especially sad because less than two months ago he sold his property at 815 Niagara avenue to a company which plans to erect a theatre there this summer. He had moved his family to a cozy little home at 1924 N. Fourth street and was planning to spend his remaining years by living on the fruits of his many years of hard labor. Death cut short his plans almost as soon as he completed the work of moving to his new home.
Frank Rosenthal was born Aug. 5, 1857, in Sheboygan. For eight years he followed the tanner's trade at the American Hide and Leather company and in 1885 he went out to Lexington, Nebraska. He married Miss Amelia Eisner of this city at Lexington on Jan. 19, 1887, and returned to Sheboygan on Sept. 17, 1894. During the following years he worked at the tannery and on May 1, 1898, he started out in the dray business. For a time business was poor, but Mr. Rosenthal's reputation for dependability and trustworthiness, together with his pleasant disposition, soon spread among the business men and after a few years it became necessary for him to buy more equipment. Four years ago he disposed of his teams and bought a motor truck. When he retired from active work last fall he was operating two trucks in order to take care of the business.
Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Rosenthal. Alice died in September, 1892, and one son died in infancy. There are five surviving daughters, Mrs. William A. Johnson, 2102 N. Ninth street, Mrs. Richard Cober, Chicago, Mrs. John Behrens, 1717 N. Fourth street, Mrs. Carl Benninghaus, 2003 South Thirteenth street, and Miss Eunice Rosenthal, at home. One brother, Fred Rosenthal, resides at 1619 S. Eighth street. There are three sisters, Mrs. George Sullivan and Mrs. Anna Prenssler of this city and Mrs. Louis Kuhli of Milwaukee. Twelve grandchildren also are among the survivors.
Mr. Rosenthal was a member of the Eagles and the Modern Woodmen.
Frank Rosenthal hauled paper for the Press during the past twenty years. He began hauling the papers in the days when there were only a few bundles of "patent insides". When he retired from business his trucks were hauling more than two carloads of paper to the Press each month. This work is being continued by Carl Benninghaus, Max Walters and Gottlieb Diener, all of whom were loyal supporters of Mr. Rosenthal.
Funeral services will be held at the family residence, 1924 North Fourth street at 2 p.m. Monday. The Rev. M. R. Brandt will conduct the services and burial will be at Wildwood.
