Elkader Register, Thur., 19 Apr. 1888.
DIED- At Osterdock, in Mallory township, Thursday, April 12th, 1888, at half past 1 o'clock, Mr. William Hansel, aged 45 years. Deceased has been very sickly for the past five years with a complication of diseases, consumption entwined. The day and hour of his death was a complete sorrowful surprise, as he was down in the village in the forenoon and attended the trustees meeting, after which he went home, nearly 12 o'clock; ate his dinner and went to his bed, and sitting on the edge of the bed called his wife to give him some medicine to relieve a pain in his stomach. But before she had it prepared he fell over on the bed, dead. Deceased leaves a wife and five children, the oldest 14 years of age, to mourn his loss. The family and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement.
