The Clinton Age, Clinton, Iowa, March 25, 1887

Andrew Kester, a prominent farmer of the town of Deerfield, dropped dead of heart disease Sunday night. He had just returned from attending the funeral of a relative in Canada who had left him between $5,000 and $6,000, and the excitement, it is thought, was the direct cause of his death. The moral of which is that people should be very careful how they leave money to relatives.
