Notes - Immigrated from Germany to America in 1845 and settled at Boonville, where he was first employed as potter by Mr. Vollrath, the pioneer potter of this city. In his latter years, Mr. Stretz was engaged in gardening. He died in 1878, from the effects of sunstroke. Mrs. Stretz died at the age of 82 years. Both father and mother are interred in the Catholic Church Cemetery at Boonville.
Lived on Jefferson City Road a couple of house from Lorenz Thoma, who was also a potter working for Vollrath. Lorenz also later became a gardener. Lorenz and Frank's children worked together in later trades.
Mr. Frank Stratz (sic), aged 56 years, was found in an insensible condition on Saturday last about 7 o'clock in the evening. He had been at a neighbor's about 4 in the afternoon, and was heard to complain of pain in his limbs and feeling badly generally. It is not known how long he had been there but as soon as he was found, Dr. W. E. Evans, of this place was sent for and applied all the known remedies for sun-stroke, but to no avail, as he died Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Stratz (sic) was a highly respected citizen and will be much missed. The family have the sincere sympathy of the Advertiser.
