Frank D. Lerch died at his home, 502 South Los Robles avenue, February 13. Mr. Lerch was born at Circleville, O., June 23, 1873. Six years later his parents settled in Naperville, Ill., and in the public schools of that city, Mr. Lerch secured a practical business education. He early entered the employ of the German American Insurance company in Chicago, where his faithful service won for him the abiding friendship of the manager, Judge Cary.
Failing health forced the young man to abandon and office career in a great city, and he sought the mild climate of California, coming to Pasadena about seven years ago. Mr. Lerch has for six years past, represented here the interests of the American Woolen mills, Chicago, and by good business methods and the strictest integrity, built up no small custom for his employers.
July 9, 1903, Mr. Lerch was married to Marie M. Schwartz of Naperville,Ill.
Of the splendid struggle Mr. Lerch has made to overcome disease and of the manly courage with which he met his end, none but his family and nearest friends can know. Every preparation had been made for death, and remembrances with loving messages were sent to absent friends - particularly "the true friends of father."
Frankness, energy and courage stamped all his acts. In his early death a young man of good business ability and sterling character is lost.
Mr. Lerch leaves a widow, his mother, two brothers and three sisters, to mourn his loss, while many friends regret the briefness of his stay.
