LAUNDERVILLE IS TAKEN BY DEATH
SERGEANT OF POLICE SUCCUMBS TO PARALYSIS ATTACK
VETERAN OF FORCE
SERVED IN CUBAN CAMPAIGN
A stroke of paralysis suffered a week ago Wednesday evening since which time he has been unable to speak or use his body; resulted in the death of Frank Launderville, sergeant of police, at his home on 704 Bingham avenue last night at 7:20 o' clock.
Mr. Launderville was widely known in the city as well as the county and has a host of friends who will mourn his death. He was 52 years old and during his life made the Soo his home. He was the veteran of the present police force, having been in the service about 17 years. Two years prior to his enlistment in Company G, Third infantry, United States Volunteers, he was a member of the Soo's police force. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war in 1898 Company G was ordered to Cuba. While there Mr. Launderville was attacked with the Cuban malaria fever and was taken immediately back to the army hospital in New York. Here he lay at deaths door for a period of about eight weeks. This was a severe blow to his physical condition, which physicians declare was responsible for his later ill health.
REINSTATED UPON RETURN.
Upon his return to this city he was reinstated in the police department and was one of the first men to see service under the commission which was first organized about 15 years ago. His death leaves but one member of the present force who entered the service when the commission was organized, this being Patrolman Adam Haller.
For the past few years he was acting truant officer appointed by the commission, and was considered one of the best and most efficient officers in the service.
Mr. Launderville has been in ill health for some few years previous to his death, having suffered a light stroke of paralysis about two years ago. Last fall he was in the Ann Arbor hospital for several weeks where he received treatment.
He is survived by his wife, three sisters and a mother. His sisters are; Mrs. E. W. Kibby, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. Charles Seymour and Mrs. M. J. Ufland, both of this city, his mother, Mrs. Peter Launderville resides with her daughter, Mrs. M. J. Ufland.
The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church on Tuesday morning at 9 o' clock and interment will be made in Riverside cemetery. Members of Company G and the police department will attend the funeral. As a mark of respect, the city hall flag is today flying at half mast.
