Notes for COMMODORE TRESSLER:
The following article and poem was written by Marie Terry Boughner. The horse, Frank, was the horse that pulled the milk wagon that Commodore drove when he delivered milk in Confluence. Commodore managed the dairy farm in Confluence, which was owned by Dr. Carl Frantz, from 1922 to 1954. Commodore had suffered a broken leg in a coal mine accident and Dr. Frantz operated on him but as a result of this operation, Commodore couldn't bend his left leg at the knee. So, Dr. Frantz gave him a home and a job managing the dairy farm.

A FRIEND IS GONE

He was gentle and kind, was Frank the milkman's horse, and dependable. In rain or sun, in stinging cold or scorching heat, he carefully drew the wagon filled with bottles of milk and cream.

He scarcely needed a driver, as he sedately and carefully stepped along, talking the corners with a sweeping curve.

He always came up "our" street at the same time each morning. Many a time have we set our clock by Frank and the milk wagon, and never missed it by more than ten minutes.

He knew the milk route well, and knew where to stop for his master to catch up. He had a good master, but Frank was getting old. Twenty-two, they said. About the same as seventy-five for a person.

This last morning Frank drew his wagon as usual. When the last bottle had been delivered and Frank stood in front of his owner's door (for Frank was owned by Dr. Carl Frantz, and he stopped in front of the hospital while his master left his order book) the horse was seen to suddenly rear, gave a scream and dropped dead.

A great many children cried over the death of old Frank, and many grown ups felt like crying too. Someone said, "He deserves a eulogy" so here it is:

TO FRANK

The turf was green that day in May,
The sun shown bright on "Frank the bay"
As he plodded along with his "one hoss shay"
His coat was smooth, for he had good care
But the gray was sprinkled through his hair.

Twenty years of farmer's work,
(For Frank was never a horse to shirk)
Had left him just a bit stiff in the joints
Yet not without his knowing points.

Down Oden Street, he slowly came
Then through each by-way, street and lane
For he knew the route in sun and rain
Through rutty alleys the chariot went
Where traveling was never meant,
The bottles rattled in dissent.

At last the morning's route was o'er,
The housewives had their milk once more
And Frank had stopped at his master's door.
There came a twinge, a pain, a rend,
Old Frank reared up - it was the end,
And Confluence had lost a friend.
