Notes |
- "Adolph Franzmathes was born in Freudenberg, Germany, March 28, 1835 and died at his home in Beloit, Kas, June 4, 1913, aged 78 years, 2 months and 10 days. He came to America with his parents and settled at Philadelphia where he lived for a period of about three years. From Philadelphia, the family moved to Waterloo County, Ont. Here he was married in 1860 to Magdalena Wendling. To this union seven children were born, whom four survive the father and mother, Mrs. Franzmathes having preceded her husband in death by nearly four years. The children are J. W. Franzmathes, Gus Franzmathes and Miss Emma Franzmathes of Beloit and Mrs. E. Chandler of Asherville. He is also survived by four brothers and one sister as follows: Joe, William, Charles and Gus Franzmathes, all of Smith County, Kas., and Mrs. A Maul of Philadelphia. In 1873 Mr. Franzmathes with his family moved to Smith County, this state, where he resided for thirty years. In 1903 the family came to Beloit, where he had resided until called home by the angel of death. Adolph Franzmathes was a good citizen, a friendly old gentleman, who during the years of his residence in Beloit, had made many friends and it was a large concourse of relatives and friends that gathered at St. John's Catholic church Friday morning at 10 o' clock to pay their last respects to the memory of a good and true man. Requiem high mass was said by the Rev. Father M. Heitz, and following the services at the church the remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery."
Beloit paper 12 June 1913.
