Tho whole community mourns the snd loss of Mr. Kiesel and extends heart-felt sympathy to his relatives. Mr. Kiesel's sudden passing was a complete surprise to his relatives and friends. Last night he seemed unusually unus-ually cheerful and enjoyed a visit with his brother, who was gratified by the apparent improvement in Mr. Kiesel's physical and mental condition. He seemed determined to continue his manly efforts to bear up bravely to the end under the great weight of sorrow sor-row and anxiety which had been his lot in tho last few months. No one will ever know just how he sustained the injury which caused his death, beyond be-yond the fact that he was extremely nervous and somehow the injury was inflicted by-himselL |
