FRANK FRIEDER

Does Change of Man's Name Apply To Whole Family?
Frank Joseph Skoracki, proprietor of the City Bakery, known all over the county,
passed away yesterday at the register of deeds office and secured his burial at
the nominal sum of $1, a funeral expense that no one should kick on in these days
of high prices. No, Frank is not dead, in fact, he is more alive than ever but he
has changed his name. Hereafter he is Mr. Frank Joseph Frieder and as Mr. Frieder
he will continue his present business and his residence in this city. In citing
the reasons for desiring a change Mr. Skoracki said he is fifty-five, was born in
Germany, is married and has a family but owns no real estate and is desirous of
changing his name to one of less foreign appearance. So hereafter if you go to the
City Bakery and you want to talk to the proprietor you will have to ask for Mr.
Frieder. What we wondered about was whether the change of the name would extend
to Mrs. Skoracki or whether Mr. Frieder would live with Mrs. Skoracki and if it
does change the name of the wife then how about the rest of the family. We tried
to figure it all out and called up a couple of attorneys but they refused to give
an off hand opinion. Anyway that's Mr. Frieder's trouble so why should we worry
about it.

FRANK FRIEDER DIES OF PNEUMONIA THIS MORNING
PROMINENT IN BUSINESS LIFE OF THIS CITY
Accident, Subsequent Illness, Proved Fatal To Man
Frank Joseph Frieder, well known business man, died at 3 o'clock this morning at
the Holy Family hospital. A week ago Mr. Frieder suffered a slight accident when he
fell while at work in his bakery shop. The injury necessitated an operation which seemed
entirely satisfactory until Tuesday morning when pneumonia developed which resulted
in his death early today. Previous to the accident last Saturday the deceased had always
enjoyed robust health and his sudden illness and death has been a great shock to the
grief stricken family and his many friends.
Born in Germany
Mr. Frieder was born in Posen, Germany, March 1, 1872. He served for two years
in the German army. He married Miss Martha Rogalski in that country August 16, 1905.
The couple celebrated its silver wedding anniversary last summer. He came to America
in 1909 making his home at Milwaukee for a year and at Two Rivers for eight years,
coming to this city in 1918. He opened the City Bakery here which has been most
successful under his business management. Several years ago he changed his name
through court procedure from Skoracki to Frieder.
He was a devoted member of the St. Boniface church and the Holy Name Society.
He was active in the Master Bakers association and also was a member of the Eagles.
Widow Survives
He is survived by his widow and nine children, John, Roman, Joseph, Frank, George,
Paula, Susan, Marion and Helen, all at home, also three sisters and three brothers in Germany.
The body was taken to the John Deschke? Funeral home, 1415 Washington street,
where it will lie in state until Tuesday morning. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock
from the St. Boniface church with the Rev. Theodore Kersten officiating. Burial will
be at the Calvary cemetery.
The funeral home will be open every day and in the evening from 7 until 9:30 o'clock
until the time of the funeral.
