Seldom are we called upon to
chronicle so sad a death of a friend
and loved one as that of Frank S.
Fagg, who was operated on for the
acute appendicitis Thursday in the
Jefferson Hospital. Died Monday,
November 81. Born October 20,
1897. He was a kind and loving
husband, son and brother. It seems
so sad that one so young should be
taken away. He had everything to
live fora happy home, dear wife,
mother and sister. But he who rules
all things decreed otherwise. He
was in the World War and fought
in the battles of Chateau Therry,
Marine and many others. He was
assistant engineer on Broad Street
Subway, Philadelphia. He was also
a graduate of Drexel Institute. He
married Cecilia M. Potter on Sep
TENDER 26, 1925, living in Philadel-
phia until his death. He was a
member of the American Legion,
Gearty Post, No. S15, and the Veter-
ans Corps. The funeral services
were held Thursday night at his
late residence, 5344 Spruce st. The
remains were brought to Milford
Friday. Services were held at 2
o'clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vernon Benson, which was largely
attended by relatives and friends.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife,
mother and sister, also a host of
friends who have our heartfelt SYM
pathy. Interment at Odd Fellows
Cemetery.
