WELL KNOWN YOUNG MAN DEAD; Death's Cruel Visitation Terminates Promising Career of Frank Stangel. -- Was Student in Closing Year at Chicago Dental College – Attended School Here – Body Brought Home Today.

"Death which came to Frank Stangel, a Manitowoc county boy in Chicago on Saturday; it cut short a promising career and brought to a close the bright life whose possibilities were just becoming apparent. Deceased was 22 years of age and was in the closing years of a course at the Chicago Dental College, from which institution he was to have graduated in June.

"He was ill but a few days, suffering an attack of typhoid fever. Not until Friday was his condition considered serious or alarming. Relatives here were notified & Saturday morning his father departed for Chicago; arriving only to find that his son had passed away an hour previous.

"Frank Stangel was a son of Mr. & Mrs. Wenzel Stangel, of Tisch Mills and had spent his entire life in this county. He attended school in the city and was later employed in a clerical position by the Chas. Salak co.

"Two years ago he became a student in dentistry at the Milwaukee Medical College and this year had taken up his work at the Chicago college and expected to complete the course in June.

"He was 22 years of age and was possessed of a high mind, of studious character and had made rapid progress. Energetic and ambitious, his success was certain and his untimely death is indeed sad. The body was brought here today and will be taken to Tisch Mills for burial tomorrow."

HAD CHOSEN A BRIDE -- Frank Stangel Was Soon to Have Married Mishicot Girl.

"A pathetic incident in connection with the death of Frank Stangel is that he was soon to have been married to a well known young lady of Mishicot and the couple had planned to make the announcement of the engagement Christmas when he returned here to spend his vacation.

"For four years the two had been sweethearts and the future held bright promise of happiness, until Death stepped in. To friends here Stangel had confided his secret and a few days before stricken with fatal illness had arranged for his return Christmas Eve, and was to have been met by a number of friends at the depot.

"The announcement of his demise was unexpected and a shock to the young people who had a place in the arrangements made for the holiday festivities. The funeral of Stangel took place at Tisch Mills yesterday."
