FRANK MUTH DIES; SHOCK TO COMMUNITY
Was Operated Upon and Fails to Rally Thereafter
Failing to rally from an operation which he underwent at the Holy
Family hospital last Monday morning, Frank Muth died at the hospital
at 11:50 this morning, announcement of the demise coming as a shock
to the entire community. It became apparent immediately after the
operation that Mr. Muth's condition was much more serious than
anticipated. He seemed to rally however and Thursday was reported as
improving. Yesterday his condition took a turn for the worse and last
night members of the family were called when his condition became
critical. He rallied at about 10 o'clock and spent an easy night but
this morning began sinking and death came at noon.
The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home.
Burial will be at Evergreen.
Only 48 Years of Age
Born in this city December 21, 1878 Frank Muth would have been forty-
eight at his next birthday. He attended the local schools, graduated
and later continuing his residence here. He was married January 1,
1902 to Miss Lizzie Hall and the family had planned on a silver wedding
celebration to mark the advent of the new year. Three children were born
to the couple, Mark now a student at Marquette U, Francis and "Billie",
all at home and with the widow, two sisters, Mrs. Theodore Anderson and
Miss Annan Muth, and an aunt, Mrs. Emmeline Brown are the only surviving
members of the family. Mr. Muth's father, Christ Muth, long prominent
in county and state politics, died ten years ago and his mother preceded
him in death six years ago.
Square in all things Frank Muth in his dealings with his fellow men
made a host of friends.
Held County Office
He served the county as its first highway commissioner, holding the office
from 1914 until 1919 when he resigned to engage in the contracting business
with Stephen Knechtel. The two worked hard and established a business that
increased year after year. They secured a number of large state contracts
and were highly rated by the state department.
A robust man, Frank Muth always had the appearance of health and strength
and his cheerful demeanor gave no indication that he was suffering
physically. Two weeks ago he journeyed to Milwaukee to consult a specialist
and when an immediate operation was advised he returned to this city to
become a patient at the local hospital.
Widely known through his activities as the highway commissioner and later
as a contractor Mr. Muth had a wide circle of friends to whom news of the
death will come as a distinct shock and cause a sense of personal loss. He
was a member of the local Elks lodge and had been elected to receive the
Masonic degrees but had only taken on the E.A. degree recently.
