Last Tuesday morning the community was shocked by the news of Rudolph Moeller's death. At about 6 p.m. Monday a stroke of apoplexy caused him to fall on Main street near the Everly Bank, wherein he was taken and a physician called. After taken home he talked and seemed out of danger when members of the household retired. However, he suddenly died at midnight after asking his son Carl to get him a glass of water.

He served many terms as a township officer and was a member of the town council when he died. His standing as a citizen was well expressed by a business man who said, "I don't believe Rudolph had an enemy in all the time he lived here." He was 65 years old and leaves two sons and a daughter.

===================

RUDOLPH G. MOELLER DIES OF APOPLEXY

Rudolph G. Moeller, a prominent and influential citizen of Everly, sustained a slight stroke, causing him to fall on the business streets of Everly, about six o'clock Monday evening. He died at his home in Everly at midnight of the same day after apparently recovering from the effects of his recent stroke. It is thought that a clot of blood lodged on the brain probably caused his death.

He is survived by three children, Carl, a cashier in the Everly bank, Walter, living on the home farm near Everly, and Miss Ella Moeller, teaching in Idaho. He made his home with his son, Carl, in Everly. Mr. Moeller was one of the foremost citizens of Everly, a member of the town council and for a great many years a resident of that city, a man in his early sixties only. His loss will be sorely felt by the entire community and is a grief, indeed, to his family as this was the first attack of the kind which he had experienced.
