He had retired to his bed a little earlier in the evening in his usual good health. Being affected with a cough he called to his wife to get him something for it, and when she started to do so he followed her down to the lower part of the building, seated himself on a chair and expired in a few minutes. Medical assistance was summoned but Mr. Kessler was beyond human aid. The remains will be taken to Mifflin for interment Friday morning. Altoona Mirror, Wednesday, January 4, 1893
