DEATH CLAIMS FRANK LEHMER
Long Battle with Heart Disease Ends
in Dissolution.
WILL HOLD FUNERAL ON FRIDAY
Services at Residence, Conducted By
Rev. j. p. Clyde--BurtRl I'm For
est Lawn Cemetery--LeRves
Eight Children.

Frank Lehmer. for many years manager
OF the Omaha Ice and Cold Storage com
psny. died at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing at his residence. 1922 Emmett street.
The funeral will be held from the residence
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. John
p. Clyde pastor of Plymouth Congrega-
uonal church, will officiate at the services.
Burial win be in Forest Lawn cemetery.
Mr.. Lehmer had been I'll for several
months with heart disease. Recently Mr..
Lehmer went to Mexico in the hope that
the change of climate would restore him
to health. He gained nothing by the trip
and returned home a short time ago.
The battle against death by his physi-
clans was given up as hopeless two days
ago. Oxygen kept the patient alive for
several days.
Mr.. Lehmer was born In Beaver county,
Pennsylvania, sixty-flve years ago. He
came to Omaha In 1857 to take the super
intendency of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. He held that position for
many years. He left Omaha in the early
sos and went to Colorado, where he on
tered the wholesale grocery business. Ill
health. however, necessitated his removing
back to Omaha, where he engaged for a
number of years in the cattle business.
IN 1899 he took the managership Of the
Omaha Ice and Cold Storage company. lie
held this office until last December, when
he was forced to retire on account of Ill
health.
