DROPPED DEAD IN BARN LOT
----------
George Kehl, Well Known Farmer of Near Prescott
Dies Suddenly On Tuesday Morning at 7:30
-----------
WAS CHASING TWO ROOSTERS
-----------
Which Were Fighting - Was Subject to Heart Attacks -
Was Former Resident of
This City
-----------
While chasing two old roosters engaged in a fight Tuesday morning about 7:30
o’clock, George Kehl, a well known farmer of near Prescott, and a
former resident of this city, was seized with an attack of heart trouble and
fell to the ground. He expired before he could be carried into the house. Mr.
Kehl had been a sufferer from heart trouble for several years, and within the
past few months he has been subject to severe attacks.
Mr. Kehl had been feeling badly for several days and Tuesday morning he
complained considerably to his wife. He walked out into his barnyard, however
and seeing two old roosters fighting he started to run them. The excitement and
strain caused by the strenuous exercise proved too much for his weakened heart
and after a short time he was seen to fall to the ground. Mrs. Kehl who saw him
fall, called to Roscoe and Paul Zoble, two neighbor boys who were working
in a field directly back of the Kehl barnlot. The boys had noticed Mr. Kehl
running the roosters but had not seen him fall. They immediately sprang over the
fence and ran to the afflicted man’s assistance. They found him lying
prostrate on the ground gasping feebly for breath. They picked him up and
carried him toward the house, but on the way Mr. Kehl expired and when he was
laid on the bed in his home it was seen that he was dead. Dr. Sammons of this
city, was called, but too late to do anything but pronounce death.
Deceased was aged about sixty years and leaves besides his wife, two children—Valentine
Kehl, who lives near Prescott, and Mrs. Alfred Monroe, who resides
near Geneva. He also is survived by an aged mother over ninety years old, who is
lying at the point of death at the present time at her home in Cincinnati.
She
was not notified of the death of her son.
Mr. Kehl resided on the farmed owned by his brother-in-law,
Tobe Worland,
and removed there last September from Rayville, this city.
The funeral will be held at the home Friday morning at ten o’clock, the
Rev. Guthrie of Waldron officiating. Interment in Forest Hill cemetery.
Stewart
& Fix, funeral directors in charge.
