  FORMER ASSEMBLYMAN JOHN R. FRONEK DIES John R. Fronek, 86, route 2, Antigo, retired town of Ackley dairy farmer and former state assemblyman, died early this morning at Langlade County Memorial hospital following a brief illness. Active in township, civic and political affairs, he served for many years as assessor in the town of Ackley, and as a member of the Longfellow school board. He was elected to three terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly, serving from 1927 to 1933, and during this time, authored the Forest Crop law. Mr. Fronek also served as a director of Antigo Milk Products Cooperative, and of the Langlade Farmers Co-op store, and was principal organizer of many cheese cooperatives in Langlade county. A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Vaclav Fronek, he was born May 11, 1883, in Czechoslovakia. At the age of four, he came to this country with his parents, and the family settled in Coal City, Ill. He spent his youth there, and worked as a coal miner until coming to Langlade county in 1900. Mr. Fronek operated a dairy farm in the town of Ackley from that time until his retirement in 1955. In October of 1905, he was married at Tisch Mills, Wis., to the former Emma Honzik, who died June 1, 1931. On Nov. 26, 1935, he was married in Antigo to Mrs. Hattie Martin, who survives.
