      AN OLD CITIZEN GONE.

      CONRAD FRANZ
      (February 17, 1831 – December 15, 1904)

      Matagorda County today mourns the loss of another of its old citizens. Conrad Franz died at 9 o'clock last night, at the age of 73 years, after a long period of affliction that had made him an invalid and kept him for the greater part of the last year in bed. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon and interment took place in Cedarvale cemetery an hour later.

      Deceased was one of this county's oldest citizens, reckoning his residence here back to youth's vigorous period, and his life has been one of honor and rectitude for every day of it. He was a ship carpenter and bridge builder by trade, and for many years was a prominent contractor. Back in the old days he served as sheriff and tax collector.

      He was a member of the Methodist church, and until age and disease rendered him incapable of active work, was a devoted and earnest churchman, giving liberally of his services and means at every call of his organization.

      He lived so as to win the respect and esteem of every man, and dying leaves behind, to a large family of sons and daughters, the priceless legacy of a good name. December 16, 1904.
