DEATH OF FRANK HOFFMAN,
Passed Away Last Night In the Hannah Hos,
pitaI After Typhoid RELAPSE ..

Frank Hoffman, for upwards two
years past an employe of this office and
a nephew of the proprietor, A. /. Koehm-
stedt, died in the hospital at Hannah
at seven o'clock last night following an
ILLNESS of typhoid fever lasting over a
month and from which he suffered a re-
lapse a few days ago, when the doctors
noted the appearance of pneumonia,
which fastened the inevitable passing
away of the patient. The deceased had
not been in the best of health for a
couple of weeks before leaving here
April 9Th for a visit at the home OF his
sister, Mrs. Robert Schill, near Now
bray, N. D., and it was while there that
be was taken down with the illness
which resulted in his death last evening
in the hospital at Hannah, to which
place be was taken at the advice of the
doctor attending him about a month
ago.
Deceased was about eighteen years
old and came to Langdon. accompanied
by a younger sister, Miss Josephine
Hoffman, IN May 1910 from Neustadt,
Ont, which place had been the home of
the family up to the time of the death
of their widowed mother, Mrs. John
Hoffman, in 1908, when the children
we're placed in ST. Agatha's Orphanage,
where three of the younger ones are at
present being educated and cared for.
Since coming to Langdon, Frank Hoff-
man had shown himself as a young man
growing up in a way that gave great en-
couragement of a career of future USE
fulness. He had the admirable habits
of thrift and honesty, was always faith
