DIED

Mr. Wm. Kessler, aged 69 years and 5 months, died Monday afternoon at his home 
in Fruitland. Mr. Kessler has suffered with anemia for several years. In 
December he was taken sick with la grippe which developed into pneumonia. 
Little hopes were then given for his recovery and word was sent to his 
children. His five sons were with him several weeks, as he seemed to be 
improving they returned last week to their homes. Mr. Kessler was born in 
Franklin county, Va., and was married to Miss Martha Flora in 1867. He was the 
father of nine children, eight of whom are living, James, Jerry, Mrs. Ida 
Miller and Mrs. Mason, of North Dak., Edward of Montana, Doss, of Dead Ox 
Flat, Oregon, Lon, who resides in Fruitland and Miss Emma, who is one of our 
teachers. Mr. Kessler has lived in Fruitland about four years and has made 
many friends. He was a noble christian man, a loving and devoted husband and 
father.

The funeral services were held in the Brethren Church of which he was a 
faithful member, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the officers of the church 
acting as pallbearers. Revs. Ebey and Shamberger officiating. Burial took 
place at Payette.

"How beautiful it is for a man to die on the walls of Zion, to be called like 
a watch worn and weary sentinel, to put his armor off, and rest in Heaven."
