After an illness lasting only a few days, Hans Frahm, an old resident of Washington County passed away at his farm home southeast of town at an early hour last Saturday morning aged 62 years. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, a short service taking place at the home, after which the remains were brought to Arlington and services were held in the Congregational church, Rev. E.A. Leshman, officiating. The Odd Fellows, of which order the deceased had long been a member, attended the funeral in a body, and marched to the cemetery, where the body was laid to rest according to the beautiful and impressive ceremonial of the order.

The deceased was born in Germany June 2, 1849, coming to the United States in 1881, finally settling in Washington County in 1888, where he has resided ever since. Until about five years ago he resided on a farm near Kennard, but at that time he purchased property at the corner of Eagle and First streets in Arlington and three years ago he moved his family here, but his active nature could not stand it here, so he again took up farming southeast of town. Of late his health has not been the best so he had arranged to again leave the farm and move back to Arlington, and had set a date for a sale in order to dispose of his surplus stock and implements. This he was prevented from doing, as sickness overtook him the first of last week, and death claimed him before the week closed. A wife and four children survive him, the other known living relatives being two brothers, who reside in this country and a sister residing in Germany.

The funeral was largely attended by people who had known him for many years and who wished to pay him a last sad tribute.
