His return to farm work too soon may have had something to do with a relapse. He began to have severe headaches and also an ear infection. Eventually, he was transported to Holy Name Hospital in Manitowoc. The doctors drilled a hole behind his mastoid to relieve the pressure. Without a modern day anti-biotic Frank never had a chance. On March 15, 1926 Frank died.” –from family writings of Ron Meyer) –buried at St. Gregory Catholic Cemetery in St. Nazianz, Town of Eaton [buried in Section 3, Row 8, Lot 12 –stone] [marriage record Manitowoc 11-162] [death record Manitowoc 22-261]
