The funeral of Mr. Fred Kadoch who died last Wednesday morning, the result of injuries received in the collapse of the Wright-Kinney building, were held on Friday.

Short services were held from the residence in west Denison at 1:30 o’clock, Rev. Emil Witter , pastor of the German Methodist Church, officiating . The body was conveyed to the German Methodist Church, members of the German Odd Fellow and Masonic orders forming an escort. It was one of the largest funerals in the history of Denison and not one-half of the people could be accommodated in the church. Rev. Witter preached the sermon and Rev. J. L. Boyd, pastor of the Methodist Church, spoke briefly. After the services, the procession was formed on North Main Street and accompanied the remains to Oakland Cemetery where the services at the grave were conducted by the Masonic order.

Fred Kadoch was born at Davenport, Iowa, on the 19th day of November, 1870. His mother passed away when he was little more than a year old, and being left an orphan he went to DeWitt, Iowa where he made his home until he was nine years of age, when he moved to Davenport and made his home with Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Ivens. In the same year he moved to Denison with Mr. and Mrs. Ivens , and has since resided here. He received his education in the public schools of Denison. He did not complete the course in public school, being anxious to engage in business and make his own way in the world. He assisted Mr. Ivens in his tin shop and it was here that he learned the trade, which for the past few years, he has so successfully conducted.

Mr. Kadoch was united in marriage with Miss Lena Stockfledt on the 19th day of September, 1893, the marriage being solemnized in Omaha. Four children were born to this union, all of whom survive, they being, Marie, Arthur, Martha and Louie who reside at home.

About six years ago Mr. Kadoch entered into business for himself and successfully conducted a tin shop until three years ago, when he formed a partnership with Mr. R. A. Buckley, the firm engaging in the plumbing business. They carried on a most extensive business, not only in Denison, but in surrounding territories. Mr. Kadoch was a self-made man and by close application to his business he made a success in his chosen life. He was held in high esteem by everyone in the community and it can be truthfully said that he won the entire confidence in his patrons and business associates.

Every business in the city was closed during the hour of the funeral in order that the business man and clerks might show their last respects to their departed friend and neighbor.

His devoted wife and children he leaves to mourn his death two brothers, Arthur Kadoch, residing at Los Angeles, Calif. and Robert Kadoch of Chicago. Those from a distance at the funeral were, Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Ivens, of Redfield, S. Dak., Mrs. Joseph Lambert, of Chicago; Robert Kadoch, of Chicago; and Mrs. Ella Ivens-Sage, Moville, Iowa, and a number of the relatives of Mrs. Kadoch residing in Schleswig and vicinity.
