Mr.. Frank kunzelman of Chicago,
/ who came to Nauvoo a short time ago
| for the benefit of his health, was
| suddenly stricken by death as he
was entering the postoffice, and drug
store occupied by A. J. Beger, his
brother-in-law, Friday afternoon al
about $3.50 o'clock. The physicians
o. the windy city diagnosed his all
rhent as a severe case of tuberculosis
and advised him to go to some coun
f! try place and secure fresh air. He
selected Nauvoo, his boyhood home
where he was born and raised. He
| was sitting on the porch in front OF
the Oriental hotel a short time before
he decided to go to the postoffice
building and when he arrived there
and just entered the place, he stag
gered and was caught by Mr.. Beger
and assisted to chair, when he sud
denly expired without uttering a
word to those who were in the build
ing. A doctor was near by and he
pronounced him dead. He was TAX
en- to the undertaking rooms to await
word from his children in Chicago.
Mr.. Kunzelman was about fifty-seven
years of age, was born in Nauvoo
and was engaged for a good many
years in one Of our largest mercan-
tile stores, after which he went to
Chicago and was with the Marshal
Field stores until sickness relieved
him from his duties. He married
Miss Sophia Beger of Nauvoo, and
two children were the fruits of the
union. The two sons who are grown
young men, were notified Of their
fathers sudden death. The body may
be inferred in Nauvoo beside that Of
his wife who died several years ago.
Mr. Kunzelman was a splendid man
and his death was shock to many
Of his old friends in Nauvoo.
A school picnic was held in Nauvoo
Thursday afternoon in one Of the
shady spots about the city.
Ed Simmons who is organizing 4
minstrel entertainment has secured
enough home talent to make the ven
ture sure go and the black-face ar
lists will appear before the Nauvoo
public in a short time. A rehearsal
will be called soon for the first work
out. ..f
Nauvoo will soon be Dragging about
~ balmiest Of balmy spring weather
that az signs OF frost have gone a
glimmering sd that this year the
bumper fruit crop prospects bids fair
School days in Nauvoo are now near
ing an end, and Nauvoo's boy hustlers
will Ne busy looking for jobs that will
keep Mem employed during vacation
days 70 ease the situation, a place
should b& selected as headquarters as
a sort of clearing house where pros
pective employers and prospective
employees may meet and go over the
fine points like they do in intelligence
offices in cities. A boy looking for
work and of the genius that does his
Ioafing around a place selected should
not have much trouble in finding a
job.
1t would be a fine thing if Nauvoo
would establish a bathing beach along
the shore, OF Lake Cooper
County option for Illinois with Cook
county eliminated from the provisions
of the act may come up before the
legislature next winter. If county OPP
ton becomes a law in this state, it
will mean goodby saloons in Nauvoo
and Warsaw.
