PIONEER MARKET MAN DIES
FRANK KADOW, CITY PIONEER, PASSES AWAY
Established One of First Meat Markets Still Operating, and Widely Known in Business


Frank Kadow, aged 85 years, and identified with the business and commercial life of Manitowoc for over sixty years, passed away this morning at the Holy Family hospital where he had been a patient sufferer from the infirmities of old age for the past month. In the death of Mr. Kadow, one of the early day pioneers of the city, who came to the city back in 1869 and established one of the early day meat markets here, passes.

Funeral services for Mr. Kadow, who was the last surviving member of the Kadow family which came here from Germany over sixty years ago, will be held on Thursday morning at nine o'clock from the St. Boniface church, of which Mr. Kadow was one of the original parishioners. The funeral is being held off until Thursday to allow a son, George Kadow, to arrive here from Denver, Colo., for the services.

Son Takes Over Business
In the sixty-odd years that Mr. Kadow has resided in the city, thirty were spent in active business. In addition to operating a meat market, he engaged in the real estate business, and later his son, John M. Kadow, became associated with him, the latter taking over the business when the elder Kadow retired to private life in 1899.

The deceased was born in Poland Germany March _9, 1845, and spent his early life there. He was married there in 1867 to Miss Pauline Drabinski. Late in 1868 with an infant son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kadow emigrated to America. They came to Wisconsin and settled at first in the town of Newton, where a brother, Steven Kadow, had been located previously. Remaining there a year, he came to this city in the late fall of 1869 and established one of the first meat markets in Manitowoc on South Tenth street. The business prospered and Mr. Kadow later branched out in the real estate business which he conducted in addition to the retail meat market, which he operated for many years after.

Wife Died Eight Years Ago
Mr. Kadow reared a family of seven children and in the late nineties, his son, John M.. became associated with him in the meat market, which was removed to a Washington street location, and also in the real estate business. In 1899, the deceased retired from active participation in the business, which was taken over by John M. Kadow. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kadow made their home at Eighteenth and Washington streets, where Mrs. Kadow passed away eight years ago. Since that time, the deceased has been spending his declining years with his children, principally with his sons, John M. and Wencel in this city.

In addition to being one of the early charter members of the St. Boniface congregation, Mr. Kadow was also a member of the Catholic Knights and the Holy Name society. His survivors are six sons, Stanley and Max of Milwaukee, George of Denver, and Wencel, John M. and Adolph, of this city, and one daughter, Mrs. Josephine Czerwinski of Milwaukee. There are also twenty-two grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Mr. Kadow was recognized as a man of keen business foresight and from the first advent to Manitowoc had shown an abiding faith in the future of the city, acquiring large property interests as he prospered in business. His market, which today represents achievement of three generations, was known widely and he built a successful career upon a motto of fair dealing and service to his patrons. Although in late years Mr. Kadow had lived a retired life he continued to retain an interest in his own business affairs and conferred with his sons on matters affecting those interests.

Funeral Thursday Morning
The remains will be taken from the Frazier mortuary, Ninth and Chicago streets, to the home of John M. Kadow, 628 North Water street, late Tuesday afternoon where they will remain until Thursday morning. There will be a solemn high mass for the deceased with three priests officiating at nine o'clock Thursday morning at the St. Boniface church. Interment will be at Calvary cemetery.
