Death of Jacob Keiser
         Jacob Keiser was born in Germany March 29th, 1850 and passed 
away at his home in Cedar County March 26, 1915, and would have been 65 
years old and had he lived until the 29th Mr. Keiser had been ailing for some time but was 
not seriously concerned until a few months ago. Some weeks ago he went 
to Rochester where an examination was made which disclosed the fact that he was suffering from 
cancer. Since that time he filed rapidly until the end came.
          Mr. Keiser came to America when 21 years of age, coming directly 
to Cedar county, where he has resided continuously every since. He was 
united in marriage to Miss Bernadine Woltering ,  February 4, 1879, and to this union eight 
children were born , all of whom survive him. His wife passed away on April 
22nd, 1893. His children are John and Jacob who resided in South Dakota and Stephen who 
resides  in Cedar County, Mrs. Mary Schroeder, Mrs. John Burbach, Mrs. Jos. 
H Burbach , Mrs. Mat Burbach and Mrs. Joe Brandl. He also leaves one brother John, who resides 
in Cedar county.
            Mr. Keiser was an honest and kindly man and a devoted Christian. 
He was among the early settlers of the county, and by virtue of industry and 
careful attention to business, he accumulated a comfortable  income. Before his death 
he was making arrangements to retire from the farm and move to Wynot, where he 
had already commenced the erection of a home. His death comes as a shock to his 
many friends, and the children have the sincere sympathy of the entire 
community.
         The funeral was held from the Catholic Church  at St. Helena last 
Monday.

Card of Thanks
           We desire by this method to extend our sincere thanks to the 
neighbors and friends for their kind sympathy and assistance during the illness 
and at the demise of our beloved father, Jacob Keiser.

The children.
