DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Edward Fridlin, Former Kokomo Boy, Expires On Pacific Slope
Edward Fridlin, age 63, formally of Kokomo, but for the last 19 years, a resident of California, died at his home in Van Nuys, that state, Tuesday, August 18, according to a telegram received Wednesday by relatives here.
Mr. Fridlin had not been in good health for sometime, but it was not known that his condition had become critical, and the news of his death came as a shock. Funeral services and burial will take place in Van Nuys.
Born in Germany, a son of Edward and Victoria Fridlin, he was brought to [New York in 1868] as a babe in arms. The family established itself in Kokomo, considerably more than half a century ago, and here Edward grew to manhood.
Among his old acquaintances, here he was known as "Dutch" Fridlin, a designation he acquired early in his boyhood, and which clung to him the remainder of his life. He took his schooling here, and while still a youth entered the press room of the Kokomo Dispatch as an apprentice. He followed the calling of press man for several years, later becoming a concessionaire with the Wallace Circus of Peru, with which organization he traveled several seasons.
Finally tiring of life on the road, he returned to Kokomo, and filled various positions here until his removal to California in 1913. [In 1901,] he married Miss Grace Morgan of Columbus, Indiana, who, with one son, Harlow Fridlin, of Van Nuys, California, survives him. His relatives here are a brother, C. C. Fridlin, and three sisters, the Misses Louise and Josephine Fridlin, and Mrs. Etta Carr.
Several of "Dutch" Fridlin's boyhood friends and many acquaintances of his manhood remain here. All recall him pleasantly. He was amiable, unobtrusive, quite in all his ways, pleasantly, companionable, and [.]willingly loyal in his attachments. Always there was a bit of the wanderlust in him, and for it, he finally found indulgence in his long journeys, with the circus, travels which took him into every state in the union and into Canada and Mexico. He was a good observer, and had a fine memory. Only those who know him particularly well, however, were aware of what a wealth of interesting information he possessed.
To those who remember him, the news that he is no more will be a saddening reminder that one by one the boys of the old days drop out, some near home, and some like "Dutch," over the hills and far away.
