Sudden Death Of Frank HoIl, of Potosi.


Another middle-aged and we'll known
citizen of Potosi, has been summarily
called to his final account Frank Holl.
who, on Thursday evening was in town
apparently in his usual health, while at
tending to some business, was suddenly
attacked with sensation of ague
which proved to be the premonitory
symptoms of paralysis and death. He
was taken to his home in the German
settlement and medical aid immedi-
ately summoned, but without avail; he
continued to grow worse until he passed
into a comatose state, and on Saturday
morning, at three o'clock, his suffer-
ings were ended and his spirit with his
Master
Mr.. Holl was born on the 23d day OF
April, 1885, in Newflizens Bernkastel,
near Frier, in the Kingdom of Prussia
When a lad ten years old, he emigrated
with his parents to America, coming
directly to the lead mines and locating
at the German settlement in Potosi,
where he has ever since resided.
In early life he gave bright promise of
usefulness, being apt, intelligent and of
unquestioned integrity. In 104S he was
employed as clerk in the dry goods
store of the late Simon Z. Lewis, and
later in the store of Scion M. Lang
worthy, now of Dubuque, both of whom
at this early day transacted a large
wholesale business, and were well known
in all the settled portions of the county.
On the removal of Mr.. Langworthy to
Dubuque, about the year 1851, Mr..
Holl succeeded to his large business
under the firm name of Holl & Vance.
and continued it for some years after
ward. Mr. Holl was very popular with
all classes and especially so with his
on all matters of important business,
and were often benefited by his good
advice. He held an influential position
in the town, being at various times town
treasurer, assessor, justice of the peace
and town supervisor. Both of these
latter offices he filled at the time of his
DEATH
He was married in the year 1880 to
Anna G. Muller, eldest daughter of Mr..
Franz Muller, of the settlement, who,
with their daughters and young babe
survive him and mourn the loss of an
affectionate husband and kind parent.
The funeral took place Sunday AFTER
noon, at st. Andreas church, Rev.
Father Wies officiating, in the German
language. There was large concourse
of friends and citizens present to take
part in the solemn services and pay the
last tribute of respect at the grave of
their friend and fellow mortal.

TINE is UP.-The six weeks of addi-
tional winter weather that the ground
hog theory promised, expired on Satur-
day last, and it is now expected that
patient and long suffering people will
be relieved from experiencing any more
winter. Although those persons who
swore by the muskrats and corn husks.
last fall, and predicted an open winter"
made terrible bad break, there is no
denying but the ground hog got in his
work in good shape. The time being
up and past, it is but fair to expect that
no more winter weather will be passed
around this way.

STRAYED.-Mr. John Wright's pet
dog "Boss" has strayed away from
home, and his owner is inconsolable.
Boss is gimlet colored dog with
corkscrew hair, and is very friendly
animal. He is about three years old,
with amber eyes, and is a desirable
piece of property to have about the
house. Boss followed off a team
and went to Patch Grove, but his
long inactivity caused him to give out on
the road and he was loaded into a cut
ter and taken to Bloomington, since
which time no tidings of his whereabouts
have been received. His accustomed
haunt, behind the stove, is vacant; the
dogs of the city, with whom Boss was
not on friendly terms, miss his presence.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts of
''Boss" will confer a favor upon a
stricken family by sending word to Mr.
John Wright, Sr.
