Frank Carl August Ziesman was born in Pleasant township, Hardin county, on January 30, 1888. Baptized in his infancy and confirmed in his boyhood he remained a members of St. Paul's Lutheran church all his lifetime. As a young man he became afflicted with a malady which left him physically weak during the remaining days of his life. He was never married.

For some twenty years he was in the car and tire repair business here in Eldora. Wherein he proved himself a reliable and honest workman. Several weeks ago the deceased became worried about his physical condition, his health having been poor all winter, and ten days ago he entered the hospital. He realized that his life was drawing to a close and so he arranged his temporal affaires to be in readiness for his departure. He reached the age of 55 years, three months, and 18 days.

His parents and two brothers and three sisters preceded Frank in death. Surviving him are his brothers, Reinhold and Fred Ziesman in Hyattville, Wyo., Richard Ziesman in Independence, Louis Ziesman in Eldora, Alfred Ziesman in Iowa Falls and many distant relatives.
