FRANK A. DRUEHL, DRUGGIST, DIES
4 May 1926
SALT LAKE. May 4.—Frank A. Druehl, veteran druggist of Salt Lake and for many years a leader in business and church circles of this city, died Monday at the Hollywood hotel in Hollywood, Cal.
Mr. Druehl was 74 years of age. He had resided in California for the past seven or eight years.
--------------
Frank August Druehl was born 7 January 1852 in Bützow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin. He immigrated to the United States about October 1869, appearing in the Chicago city directory for 1870-1871 and is also enumerated on the 1 June 1870 Federal Census, when Frank was working as a clerk for a druggist.
On 2 September 1872 he married Mary C. Boesch and in November 1872 he became a naturalized citizen.
Frank and Mary had four children: Louisa (died as infant), Ella Josephine Adelaide, Walter Frank and Hugo William Druehl, all born in Chicago before 1880. Sometime after 1880, Mary and Frank divorced and on 15 Apr 1884 Frank married Martha D. Wilson. By 1890 he had moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he operated the Busy Corner Drug Store for many years.
In Salt Lake City, Frank partnered with James L. Franken in the Druehl & Franken Drug Company; together they also invested in Liggett's Rexall corporation and became quite wealthy as a result.
In 1903 Frank purchased the Robinson Drug Company in Colorado Springs, which son Hugo managed for a few years before brother Walter took control. In 1918 Frank and Hugo purchased Franken's share of Druehl & Franken and renamed the company The Druehl Drug Company. In 1920 they sold the company to the Owl Drug Company and Frank retired from active business pursuits.
About 1910, Martha was diagnosed with breast cancer and Frank moved her into an apartment, leaving their large and elaborate house on 527 East South. After Martha died in 1911, Frank is believed to have lived mostly in hotels, such as the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake and the Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles. In 1919 he married for a third time to a Jewish lady, Mrs. Tillie Kate (Eschner) Franck. Between 1920 and his death in 1926, Frank and Tillie enjoyed traveling and living abroad. They traveled in Europe from May 1922 to March 1923, and again from June 1924 to November 1924.
Frank died 3 May 1926 while residing at the Hollywood Hotel. Afterwards, Tillie resided at the Utah Hotel in Salt Lake; on an extended trip to visit her family in Cleveland, she died while residing at the Fenway Hall Hotel. Their ashes are in a mausoleum at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Frank's estate was valued at $187,500 and distributed to his extended family.
