FRANK KRAHN
Frank C. Krahn, 79, retired locomotive engineer and former Manitowoc resident,
died last night at his home in Kaukauna.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 1 p.m., at Kaukauna. The body will be
brought to Manitowoc for interment in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Krahn was born in this city and after completing school went to work for
the North Western railroad. He rose to the rank of locomotive engineer and for
years operated trains out of this city. Twenty years ago he moved to Kaukauna
to take a run to Eland Junction. He retired nine years ago.
Survivors are the widow, the former Mary Miller of this city; two sons, Joseph
of Kaukauna and Dr. George Krahn of Oconto Falls, Wis.; daughter, Mrs. Peter
McMahon of Savannah, Ga.

Frank Krahn says the best place for hunting is up North, at the end of the
line, that is, of the M.L.S. & W. Ry. The country is yet a primitive wilderness.
Night is made hideous by the howling of wolves, while during the day you
everywhere meet the evidence of abundant game. A short time ago, Mr. Krahn met
a monster bear rather suddenly. Before he knew it he was within about eight feet
of bruin and could nearly touch the latter with the muzzle of his rifle. But
there was no time for experimenting and Frank blazed away and down went his
bearship. The trophy was promptly secured, and relatives and friends in this
city received a share of the meat.
