Mrs. Frank Slatky Has Passed Away
Wife of Our Street Commissioner Died from Peritonitis After A Week's Illness -- Was Conscious to the Last

After an illness of nearly a week of peritonitis, Mrs. Frank Slatky passed away Monday night at 11 o'clock at her home in this city surrounded by her husband, her children and many of her relatives. The news of her death has caused great sorrow among her friends throughout this part of the state. Mrs. Slatkey was not thought to be very ill until Sunday when a change for the worse was noticed. Physicians did everything that could be done to relieve her sufferings, determining that she had but one chance in thousands of living, even with an operation. It was decided not to perform an operation. Mrs. Slatkey was conscious to the last moment of her life. Calling her husband and children to her side, she said that she knew her time on earth was short and bade each one a fond goodbye. She gave her children a mother's parting blessing, and said a few words to her husband, father, and mother, then was gone. It was like a dream to the relatives and many cannot yet realize that Mrs. Slatky has passed away forever. But she is gone to her eternal rest where worldly joys and sorrows are not.

The funeral was held from the residence this morning at 9:30 o'clock and from the Catholic church an hour later. Hundreds of friends and relatives paid their last respects to this good woman. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery.

Annie Botz was born 42 years ago. Seventeen years ago she accompanied her husband from Sauk Center, Minn., to Minot. She was one of the pioneers of Minot, which was then a little village. She worked with her husband and prepared a home for themselves and children that they might live in comfort. Five children were born to them, a little three-year-old son was burned to death four years ago. The others who are living are: Mrs. Hohn Gow, Eldora, Alvie, and Leo. She leaves her father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. John Botz and brothers and sisters as follows: John, Andrew, Albert, and Henry Botz, Mrs. John Ehr, Mrs. Joe Korgel, and Mrs. Chas. Kelley.

Mrs. Slatky was a member of the Lady Maccabees, and was a devout Christian, being a member of the Catholic church. She was a woman who loved her home and never thot of her own comfort, but always thot of that of her children, her relatives, and her friends. Mrs. Slatky did not fear leaving this world. She told her relatives a few moments before the spark of life left her body that she was prepared and wanted to go. This is indeed comforting to her sorrowing friends and relatives.
