occurred at the family hoe on corner of Benner and Alley streets early Sunday morning, Sept. 2nd, after
a lingering illness of several months in his 72nd year. Prof. Frank had been a citizen of Jefferson

of him who all loved. May he rest in peace.

deep sympathy. The following relatives were here: Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Turner, Dallas; F. H. Frank, Thurber; F. Patillo
