The people of Philipsburg were greatly surprised to learn of the death of Karl Franzman who died at his residence in Parker's addition last Saturday at 8 o'clock a.m.
Mr. Franzman, who was apparently as well as usual on that morning, ate his breakfast and ten minutes afterwards was dead. His death, it is believed, was caused from heart trouble.
The deceased was 67 years of age and had come to Philipsburg to reside about two years ago from Butte. He moved over to be near his sons who live in this vicinity and to get rid of the smoke of the Copper City, which did not agree with him. He always appeared in the best of health during his residence here, which made his death all the more a matter of surprise. He was a native of Bingen on the Rhine, Germany.
Mr. Franzen had made many friends here who will be sorry to hear of his demise. He leaves a wife, four sons and three daughters to mourn his loss. One son, William, resides here and is owner of a hardware business; Jacob Franzman is located on his ranch near Stone Station. Two sons, Charles and John, reside in Butte, while of his daughters, Mrs. H. Wood lives at Drummond; Mrs. Charles Jackson at St. Paul, and Mrs. Ed. Orschel at Quincy, Illinois.
The funeral occurred from his late residence in Parker's addition, and a large processsion of carriages followed the remains to the grave. Rev. J.J. McAllister, of the M.E. church, conducted the services.
