FUNERAL OF MRS. C.H. FRISCH HELD LAST SUNDAY
Mrs. Mary Frisch,one of Benton County's oldest and most highly respected
citizens, passed away at her home in Cole Camp, February 4,1943. She
had
attained the advanced age of 87 years, 3 months and 14 days.
Though frail and feeble, Mrs. Frisch enjoyed reasonably good health
for
each one of her years. She was up and around as usual and enjoyed pleasant
conversation with the family until bedtime Wednesday. Early Thursday
morning
she suffered an attack of asthma that was too much for her weak heart
and
death resulted, speedily.
Mary Fritche, daughter of the late Ferdinand and Susan Fritche, was
born
in Steubenville,Ohio, October 21,1855. When she was quite young the
family
moved to Lockport, Illinois, remaining there until 1868. In that year
Mr.
Fritche bought a farm near Lincoln,Mo, where the family afterward resided.
It was here, on December 9, 1880, that Mary Fritche, became the bride
of
Mr. C.H.Frisch, of Boylers Mill,Mo. The Warsaw branch railroad was
under
construction at the time, and had been completed as far as Lincoln.
Many of
the guests came to the wedding on the train which stopped near the
Fritche
farm for their convenience. The young couple made their home, at first,
with
the groom's mother at Boylers Mill, where the groom and his brother,
the
late G.B. Frisch, owned and operated the mill. Later, Mr. and Mrs.
C.H.
Frisch built a new house, across Buffalo Creek, where they lived for
more
than forty years.
Mrs. Frisch lived to see many changes in her life time. When she first
went to Boylers Mill, the roads were almost impassable in winter, supplies
were purchased in late fall sufficient to last until the roads were
passable
in the spring. Even then, a whole day was required to complete a trip
to and
from Cole Camp. Many a customer, bringing grain to the mill would find
themselves many weary hours from home at meal time or at night. These
were
assured of a hearty welcome to the generous hospitality of the Frisch
home.
Mrs. Frisch took much interest in helping maintain a Sunday School
in the
communtiy and was always a sponsor of anything that was for the common
good.
For her many endeariing qualities she was called "Aunt Mary" by everyone.
Shortly after the Frisch brothers retired from business and on their
forty-first wedding anniversary, December 9,1921, Mr. and Mrs. Frisch
moved
to Cole Camp.
Always a passionate lover of flowers, Mrs. Frisch's hoome was a bower
of
beauty in season, a reflection of her loving thought and planning.
In April 1922, she united with the Congregational Church in Cole Camp,
of
which she was a faithful and consecrated member, reflecting in her
daily
life the religion she professed.
On December 9,1942, Mr. and Mrs. Frisch celebrated their sixty-second
wedding anniversay.
She is survived by her bereaved husband, Mr. C.H. Frisch,and three
children. They are: Clarence H. and Leo B. Frisch of Chicago; Mrs.
Zora
Winchester of the home. Also by one grandson and his wife, Mr. and
Mrs.
Robert Winchester of Chicago. An infant daughter preceded the mother
in
death.
Funeral services were held at the First Congregational Church in Cole
Camp,at 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Februray 6,1943, with the pastor,
Rev. C.A. Hughes, in charge. He took for his text, " Come unto me,
all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The choir,
under
the pastor's direction was composed of: Rev. C.A. Hughes, Mr. Henry
Mussmann, Mrs. L.A.Taylor, Mrs. J.W.Ragland, Mrs. O.C. Hunter, Mrs.
Wm.
Goetz, Mrs. Ernest Kerksiek, and Mrs. A.H.Zimmerschied. Mrs. L.A. Demand
was
pianist. The songs rendered were "Face to Face", "The Land Where We
Never
Grow Old" and "Abide With Me".
The large number of beautiful floral offerings attested to the high
esteem
of the many friends of the deceased.
The pallbearers were: C.H. Junge, J.W. Morrow, A.E. Wright, Henry Lumpee,
A.T. Tucker and A.L. McBurney.
Interment was made in the Cole Camp Memorial Cemetary.

Nor named thee, but to praise".
