20 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 ILLNESS FATAL T0 OTTO FALK Dean of Cook County Justices Summoned on Sunday at Wilmette Residence AILING FOR MONTHS Simple Rites Observed at the Home The home of Otto Falk, dean of Cook county justices, was the scene of simple but impressive ceremonies Wednesday afternoon when the last rites were held over the earthly re- Justice Otto Falk mains of the widely known pioneer north shore resident who passed away Sunday morning, January 25, follow- ing an extended illness. Scores of friends and business ac- quaintances of the justice crowded into the modest little home on Glen- view road to pay tribute to his mem- ory. Services were read by Rev. Her- man W. Meyer, pastor of St. John's Ivangelical church. Miss Adelaide Jones of Wilmette sang two beautiful solos. Services at the grave in Me- morial Park were in charge of New Trier Aerie No. 1842, Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which Justice Falk was a charter member. Otto Falk, justice of the peace on the north shore for 24 years, was born 60 years ago in Mecklenburg-Schwe- rin, Germany. After serving his ap- prenticeship as a miller, he came to the United States at the age of 18 years, locating immediately in Gross Park, Chicago. There he worked as a stone SIX LAKE SHORE AUTO SALES Sales Room and Service Station 1010-16 Chicago Ave., Evanston, ill. cutter, later going to Evanston where he engaged in the teaming business. Soon after his arrival on the north shore he became interested in politics and was appointed game warden for the Fox Lake region, an important position in earlier years when that country was but sparsely settled. After several years in the employ of the state, he settled in Gross Point and was soon elected a justice of the peace, which office he held contin- uously up to the time of his death. In recent years Justice Falk devoted a wealth of his time and energy to the interest of the New Trier Com- mercial association, now known as the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce, and the forerunner of the Chambers of Commerce in Winnetka and Glencoe. He served as secretary of the asso- ciation over a period of several years and only recently was unanimously elected a life member and honorary secretary of the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Falk directed much of his attention to the development of the Chamber's excellent credit rat- ing system. A large delegation from the Chamber of Commerce attended the services. Justice Falk was a prominent mem- ber of the Cook county association of Justice and Police Magistrates. Justice Falk is survived by his widow, Augusta Falk: his mother, Mrs. Emma Bergman: two sisters, Mrs. Emma Gorren of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Meta Murphy of Chicago, and a brother, Alex Falk of Morton Grove, II.
