Frank E. Cyr, a resident of Birchwood for nearly 30 years, died Saturday afternoon, Jan. 23, 1937, at the General hospital at Madison after a short illness. He had not complained of not feeling well until a short time before his death. The body was brought to Birchwood for burial.
Mr. Cyr was born at Van Buren, Maine, on April 25, 1869 and moved to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, when a young boy. He was married to Adeline Patnode in 1889 and to this union eleven children were born.
Mr. Cyr had maintained his residence in Birchwood continuously since 1907. He was employed by the Soo Line railway and would have been pensioned this year. He owned half-interest in the People's Cash Store with R. L. LaPointe until last fall when he sold out his interest to his son, R. J. Cyr.
Deceased was loved by all who knew him, his word was as good as his bond, and no matter what adversity came his way, he could take it with a smile. No finer tribute could be given any man.
Funeral was held Tuesday forenoon at 9:30 o'clock at St. John's Catholic church, Rev. Father Tabinski officiating. The pallbearers were Henry Knapmiller, L. G. Bemis, Herman Kleiman, Frank Blaha, Mark Hayes, and Mike Skar. Interment at Wood Lawn cemetery.
