John Hoxie, son of Fred Hoxie (Frank Hoxie's brother) wrote that, "Elmina's first son Frank Chatman, took the Hoxie name and died single at age 28, a devoted brother to his younger half-sister, Lillian.
Frank taught my father, Fred, to play the fiddle and both had their years playing for square dances accompanied by Lil (Lillian) on a parlor organ which got hauled to neighboring towns and halls in the back of the buggy. The Hoxie home by a slough of the Wisconsin river was for many years a jolly meeting place with music and games for the area young people. Their first sorrow was Frank's death in 1882."
Evansville Review, I. A. Hoxie, Editor and Publisher: ..."a long line of carriages followed the remains to the beautiful cemetery, just on the verge of a broad prairie that skirts the pretty village of Spring Green, there to remain under the watch and ward of the gray old bluffs, who like weird sentinels, grim and silent, stand watchers over the peaceful dead.
Cause of Death: "had just completed 5 months term of school and had come home for a few weeks vacation..". Symptoms were described as, "complaint of something of the brain..superseded by an enfeebled constitution. His sickness was only about two weeks, and much of the time was bereft of reason and also of hearing. (Possibly Meningitis?). His Grand Uncle, George Washington Cass, who was a physician, tried to no avail to cure Frank's illness.
