HUNDREDS PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO F. STANGEL

Funeral at Tisch Mills Largest Ever Held in Section

Hundreds of friends from throughout this section of the state, including many from this city, attended the funeral of Frank W. Stangel of Tisch Mills, held today, the funeral being one of the largest ever known in the Eastern section of Wisconsin, it is said. Delegations from Kewaunee, Sturgeon Bay, Door, Manitowoc and Brown County were present. C. J. Stangel
and family, W. A. Hutchhausen and many others from here attended.

The death of Mr. Stangel takes from Tisch Mills one of its most prominent and progressive citizens. His were the chief efforts which years ago brought about the fire fighting equipment in this village, the County Line Telephone, and later the establishment of the State Bank and the obtainance of the trunk highway through here. As unselfishly as he worked for the public good, he also ardently worked for the support of the church and religion of his choice.

There was no bigotry in his heart; his helping hand was open to all, and no call for aid, no matter in what form, was left unanswered. The less fortunate received assistance without a call; charity reigned in his heart.

Refused Public Offices--

Interested in politics, Mr. Stangel had many times during his life been called upon to run for different public offices to which he never consented. He was, however, an officer of the school board and also an officer and trustee of the church for years. He filled a vacancy for town chairman but refused to run for election and had been notary republic and justice of the peace continuously for years. Fraternally, he was a member of the K. of C. Catholic Knights of Wisconsin; member and officer of the American Catholic Central Union, and also of the Holy Name Society. At the time of his death, he was president of the
Tisch Mills State Bank and head of the store cheese factory in which he was co-partner with his two sons Joseph and Edward. Just before his illness, he was named as director of the Wisconsin Southern Railway company but illness prevented any action on the offer.

Surviving Family--

Mr. Stangel married Mary Rezech Jan. 30, 1883. Nine children were born to them, eight children and Mrs. Rezech now surviving. They are Joseph and Edward, partners in the F.W. Stangel Sons local business; Otto, former athlete at the University of Wisconsin, and member of the All Western team, now president of an Agricultural college at Farm School, Pennsylvania; Daniel, graduating this month in the college of Dentistry, Marquette University; Frank O., Director of Physical Education, Oak Park (Ill.) high school, and Mrs. Lucille Jansky
of Rockwood, Mrs. Sybil Schlies of Tisch Mills, and Mrs. George Spevachek of Manitowoc. Two brothers, Joseph J. and John, and six grandchildren also survive.

Funeral services were held from St. Mary's Catholic church with a solemn requiem high mass at which the Rev. Father Shimek was Celebrant and the Revs. Rous of Kellnersville, Kubale of Kewaunee, Kolar of Reedsville acted as deacons and assistants. Other priests were also present. Fraternal and civic organizations with which Mr. Stangel was affiliated attended in bodies. The cortege formed at the home of the deceased and marched to the church.
