Show FRANK HOCKSCHULZ DEAD Francis Hockschulz, a Pole who has resided here and at Enterprise for the past 10 years, died at the home of Geo. Brooks, Sr., last Friday morning. For some time he had been living alone in a small cabin at the home of Mr. Brooks, and on Aug. 2 complained of .severe stomach trouble which later developed into inflammation of the bowels, from which he died. The county employed employ-ed Chas. Worthen to look after him. When he came from his native land, Poland, is not known. His first home in this country was in Wisconsin. He later went to California, Calif-ornia, and about ten years ago he came to Enterprise where he took up a homestead, which he proved up on and later sold. He was a good tinker tink-er and with a horse and light wagon used to visit the settlements in this county doing that kind of work. He was 75 years old when he died, and very little is known of his relations. So far as known he never married. He leaves two nieces, both married with families, one at Helenville, Wis., the other at Jefferson, Wis. He went to Wisconsin about six months ago intending to stay there with his nieces but could not feel content, and in a letter to George Brooks, Sr., asked him to loan him the money to return to Utah, as he loved Utah best. Mr. Brooks sent the money and he returned about two months ago. County Cleark Wm. Brooks notified notifi-ed the nieces of the passing of Hockschulz Hock-schulz by telegram. The deceased was highly respected by the people here. He was a man very respectful in his manner, scrupurlously honest, strictly temperate tem-perate and of a very kindly and genial desposition. During the World War he sent considerable of his money to . the Polish Red Cross and helped so far as his means permitted in helping the suffering and destitute in his native na-tive country. Funeral services were held at the home ' of Geo. Brooks, Sr., Friday afternoon, conducted by Bishop F. G. Miles. The speakers were Elders Geo. E. Miles and George Brooks, Sr., singing was furnished by the East Ward choir. Interment was made in the city cemetery, the grave being dedicated by Elder W. T. Morris. |
