celved telegram Saturday, telling
him that his brother Frank 0. Tenn
pie, who has been i'll at Atlantic for
several months, was much worse
and to come at once if he wished to
see him alive. Mr.. and Mrs. Temple
Went to Atlantic Immediately and
reached the sick mans bedside in
time to smooth his pillow and bid
him an atfectionate goodbye ere
his spirit took it's flight which it did
at high twelve on Monday. The
following is from the Atlantic
DAILY Telegraph of Monday:
Shortly after noon today occurred
the death of Frank Q. Temple, after
an illness extending over many
months. The deceased was taken
i'll with typhoid fever last fall and
his death was due to complications
and weakness engendered by this
disease. For months he has
been very low, lowering between
life and death, and showing no
change for better or worse. 1t was
thought that with the coming Of
summer and warm days, that
change for the better would come
but the hopes of family and friends
were in vain. Yesterday he began
to sink rapidly and this afternoon
gave up the long struggle and
yielded himself to the messenger of
death.
Mr.. Temple was born in Lewis,
Cass county, Iowa, February 9, 1866,
and has lived in CasS county all his
life. When he was some three years
OF age his parents moved to this
city, then in its infancy, and here
the deceased has spent his years.
He was educated i'll the public
schools of this City and afterwards
studied law at the University OF
Iowa, from which institution he
was graduated in 1887. He I'M
mediately entered the law firm com
posed Of his father, Judge Temple,
and Hon. Julian Phelps, and the
name of the firm became Temple.
Phelps & Temple, After the death
of his father he became Junior
member of the firm o. Phelps &
Temple. In 1890 he wa United in
marriage with Miss Ar Phelps.
daughter Of his partnf Besides
his wife and one child son, he
leaves behind his mot. !, four
brothers and three sisters to mourn
his untimely death.
The deceased was taken off in the
prime of life, being but few
months over thirty-three years of
age. He had but reached the per
iod of life when he could be of
greatest usefulness to society. He
had but settled down to his work of
life, when he was cut off without
time to realize his dearest hopes
and ambitions. But while only a
young man, he had already made
himself felt as a strong force, both
in profession and in society, and
both had reason to expect great
things from him. He had earned
the respect and esteem of both bar
and bench and his prospects for
success, of the noblest kind, were
most promising. But hopes and
ambitions and desires are all pass
ed and he stands before the world
to be judged by what he has done
and not by what he hoped to do.
That judgment will be that he did
his best to make a return to society
for what he had received, and that
his death will leave place in this
community vacant that cannot be
ever entirely filled.
Funeral will be held at the Con
gregational church tomorrow
Wednesday, at 2 p. III. The casket
will be open at the house for
friends from 9 to 10 a. M, and will
not be opened at the church,
The remains were buried in the
family lot in Atlantic cemetery.
