When the news was first received

was only too true. A resident here
the larger share OF his life he was
known to most every one, vigorous and
in the prime OF young manhood, with
ilattering prospects, wife, baby and a
large circle of friends he had every
thing TO make life bright and hopeful
and to be thus cut off almost without a
moments warning, seemed indeed one
of the mysteries OF Providence.
Accompanied by his wife and baby
he came here last week to spend the
holidays with the parents and friends
of both in this city and vicinity. He
was suffering from slight throat
trouble and complained a little Friday.
DR.. Ferguson prescribed for him and
said he thought he would be all right
better and Sunday morning seemed all
right when he awaked. He joked with
his wife who had arisen first, and she
brought him his tooth brush and mug
that he might brush his teeth. He
was in the act Of doing so, sitting up in
bed, when he suddenly fell back, gave
three gasps and expired without a
word.

The interment was in the River Ridge
cemetery here.
Frank began his business career with
H. J. Leonard's dry goods store here
where he remained from 80 to '97, then
went to Albany, Ind. for short time.
He then went into A. Krolick & CO..
wholesale establishment in Detroit,
and from there to Edison, Moore & Co. s.,
whom he had represented on the road
for two and one-half years, his terri
tory being southern Michigan and
northern Indiana.
The following tribute from friend
was read at the funeral service:
Frank II Unger, while in the full
strength Of vigorous young manhood,
was cut off from a career glowing with
all that makes life beautiful and homes
happy. His whole nature was instinct
with manly qualities, which endeared
him TO the hearts of all with whom he
was associated and commanded the re-
spect and admiration of all who knew
them. Yet in the twinkling OF an eye
all of his LIES hopes, aud ambitions
and bright prospects were blighted and
we have left only the remembrance OF
noble life, the love OF fond husband
and father, an affectiouate son and
brother, and a most worthy friend,
Although his LIES work was only
fairly begun, he had learned the pleas
ures and the benflts Of success. Each
year of his life, since he entered into
its responsibilities found him higher
on the ladder of attainment, and for
the coming OF the new year he had
mounted another round and turned his
eyes upward toward higher goal.
His place In the business world may be
filled but his sudden and untimely
death will leave in the hearts of his
family and friends sorrow which time
cannot heal, but only soften.
He was born near Smyrna in the
township OF Otisco, June 9th 1873, and
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Solo
mon Unger, moved to Bedding when he
was less than year old, He was edu-
Gated in the public schools there, grad
uating from the high school in the
class OF 1890. One of his classmates
who graduated with him, was the young
lady he was 10 marry little later.
The friendshi p of the class room grew
into the fondness of the lovers. When
he left the school on that June day IL
was with the unfaltering faith that he
could make place for himself and
that other one, which would gladden.
the lives of both. How fully he real
lied that hope his bereaved wife knows,
while his success and the happiness OF
their married life bear testimony.
