• Notes

  Frank Stretz, for six years on the police force of Boonville, died on the morning of the 4th of July, at his residence on Morgan Street. He was in his usual health the day before and was on duty until just before midnight when he went home. A short time after arrival at home he was seized with violent cramps and notwithstanding the efforts of his physician to relieve him, he died in the early hours of the morning. He was a faithful officer and a good citizen, and had many friends. He was thirty-five years of age, and seemingly yet far removed from the borders of the land of the dead. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his untimely death. His funeral was largely attended, Rev. Mr. Tubman conducting the funeral service at the house. He was buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery, with impressive ceremonies of the A.C.U.W., Vine Clad Lodge, of which he was a member, attended the funeral in a body. He was born in Baden, Germany in 1854 but had been living in Boonville since childhood. His wife, to whom he was married in 1883, is a daughter of George Rentschler, of this vicinity.
