- According to information on file at the SNPJ office here in Imperial, Pa., Frank Horzen was born March 10, 1899, and died November 22, 1968, of congestive heart failure (heart attack) at the age of 69.
A short notice of his passing from 1968 indicates that he was born in Hrastje, Slovenia (Austrian Empire), lived in Chicago -- where he was well known in the local Slovenian community -- for some time, then moved to Phoenix in the mid-1940s. He was employed as a truck driver in Phoenix, retired in 1964, and had been in failing health after his retirement. Frank was survived by his wife, Julia, and three bothers and three sisters in Slovenia. This information was published in PROSVETA, the SNPJ newspaper, on page 1 of the Dec. 2, 1968, issue.
Prior to his SNPJ membership, Frank was a member of the Slovene Workmen's Benefit Society (SDPZ). The information on his original SDPZ membership card indicates that he joined the SDPZ in August 1921, which would have been shortly after his arrival to the United States.
Although the SDPZ merged with SNPJ in late 1921/early 1922, Frank didn't formally join SNPJ until September 1934. I don't have any documentation to explain the delay between his SDPZ and SNPJ memberships, but when he did join SNPJ in 1934, Frank was a member of SNPJ Lodge 559 in Chicago and remained so until his passing in 1968.
