"On November 17, 1849,
Frank Balder was born at Schlesien, Prussia.
On November 17, 1889, he died at his home in this city. Mr. Balder was first a
resident of St. Cloud in 1878, when he was foreman in Enderle's brewery.
From here he went to Milwaukee as foreman of a big malt house there, but
returned to St. Cloud in 1878 and bought an interest in a brewery here. He
was successful in his business, which increased rapidly, and three years ago he
bought out his partner and afterwards controlled it alone. For two years or
more, however, his health had not been good, and when attacked by typhoid
fever recently he was not able to rally. Mr. Balder
served one term, from 1881 to 1883, as alderman from the Fourth ward, was a
member of the old Little Giant Engine Company, and was a pleasant, companionable
man who made many friends and few enemies. He leaves a wife
and four children. The funeral occurred on Tuesday forenoon and was largely
attended, the fire department, on invitation of the exempt members of the
department, following to the grave the body of their former comrade, in full
uniform with emblems draped in crepe.
