Died Suddenly On Sunday

Frank Rudow Junior Passed Away Without Warning At His Home

A familiar figure in the life of the town was removed when Mr. Frank Rudow Junior died early last Sunday morning after having been unexpectedly stricken Saturday night. Since the previous Tuesday he had not been feeling well, but was at his tobacco shop on Arthur street steadily until Saturday night about eight o'clock when he took a sudden turn for the worse, and went home where he lapsed into unconsciousness from which he never rallied despite all medical efforts and he passed away in the morning.

The late Mr. Rudow was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rudow, King street. He was born at Pembroke in 1886. With his parents he moved to Elmira about 20 years ago and it was about that time he began the trade of barber. During the past ten years, he has been operating a shop of his own located on Arthur street. About 17 years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Edith Dreisinger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dreisinger of Elmira. Their marriage was blessed with five children, three boys and two daughters; Milton, Claire, Elmer, Arietta, and Alma, all of whom survive as also his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rudow, two sisters, Mrs. Sanford, Toronto and Mrs. Jacob Brown Elmira; and two brothers, Fred and William.

The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. After a short service at 2 o'clock at the house the remains were taken to St. James cemetery for burial. Rev. Mr. Kalbfleisch conducted the services.
