Obituary notes for Frank Joseph KORNMAYER
Nevada State Journal 20 Feb 1940
F.J. Kormayer Stricken Here
Reno Firm President Dies at Home
Frank J. Kornmayer, prominent resident of Reno, and president of the Smith-Petersen Rock & Sand company for the past several years, died suddenly at his home, 221 West Third St., late yesterday afternoon.
He had not been in ill health, and his death was unexpected.
Mr. Kornmayer, who was born at Boca, Calif., 59 years ago, had spend his entire life in the western part of Nevada. His grandparents, on his mothers’ side, were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Sauer, pioneer settlers of Washoe valley.
He came to Reno as a child with his parents, and received his education in the schools of this district. One of the early graduates of the University of Nevada, Mr. Kornmayer received a B.S. degree in mining engineering from that institution in 1901.
After graduating from the university, he followed mining and mill work for several years in the Virginia City and Dayton area, and then came to Reno. He entered the butcher business in Reno with his brothers, Will and George Kornmayer. His brother Will died several years ago.
He continued in the butcher business for several years with his brothers, and then entered the rock and sand business with the Smith & Petersen company. He had been president of the institution since 1933.
Active in masonic affairs, Mr. Kornmayer was a past master of Amity Lodge No. 4, F. & A.M. of Silver City, and was also a past patron of Adah chapter, Order of Eastern Star. He transferred to Reno lodge No. 13, F. & A.M. of Reno and was a member of the Reno Royal Arch Masons, DeWitt Clinton Commandery, Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite bodies of Nevada and Kerak Temple of the Shrine.
On December 25, 1911, Mr. Kornmayer married Miss Freda Davis, who died in 1932. The couple had eight children, seven of whom survive. Mr. Kornmayer married Mrs. W.E. Butler of Reno on August 12, 1938.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Mary Kornmayer of Reno; two sons, Frank J. Jr., and William Kornmayer of Reno; five daughters, Mrs. Robert Millard of Ely, and Betty, Mary, Freda and Mardelle Kornmayer, all of Reno; a brother, George Kornmayer, of Reno.
