Frank Ketchum, a pioneer ranchman of the Crow Creek valley, died yesterday at St. John's hospital, after a sickness of several weeks. The funeral is to be held at St. Mark's church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and Dr. G. C. Rafter, an old friend of the deceased, will read the service.

Mr. Ketchum's death is regretted by a large number of friends, to whom he had endeared himself by his unfailing consideration, courtesy and generosity. He was born in Chesterville, Mormon county, Ohio, October 1, 1840, and was married in 1872. He came to Wyoming more than a score of years ago and since has ranched in the Crow Creek valley above Fort Russell. Mr. Ketchum is survived by a widow and seven children, of whom Alice, Herbert, William, Anne and Mildred Ketchum and Mrs. Mart Cox reside near Cheyenne. Another daughter, Mrs. Flossie Reader, resides at Los Angeles, Cal.

Until the hour for the funeral the remains of Mr. Ketchum will rest at the Longhurst & Ryan undertaking establishment.
