Max Frank Oppenheimer was born May 6, 1865, at Cardington, Morrow county, Ohio, the child of Lewis and Aurelia Weaver Oppenheimer. His father dying while he was yet a child, his morther later married John Jennings. In 1880 the family came to Cedar county, Ia., locating at Lime City.
In 1890, Mr. Oppenheimer was married to Hannah Lovell. Within three years she died, leaving one child, Myrtle, who was married last November to William Wildman, near Iowa City. Besides the daughter, he leaves behind two sisters, Mrs. Ed Valett, of Muscatine, and Mrs. Weaver, of Solon, Ia., and his aged mother who has carefully and lovingly attended him through years of sickness. He was quiet and amiable in disposition, a loving and, while strength permitted, a helpful son.
Surely the sympathy of the whole community will be attended to the patient, loving and suffering mother.
About two years ago, upon confession of faith, he was received into the Presbyterian church.
Nearly fourteen years ago, while chopping wood, a chip struck him on the cheek. From the bruise, tuberculosis of the skin resulted, eating away the entire superior maxillary, malar and nasal bones, sapping his vitality until his suffering was relieved by his spirit departing March 8, 1911. His case has been a puzzle to the medical fraternity, far and near.
Interment was at Sharon cemetery, Rev. M. E. Lumbar conducting the services at the home.
