Hugo Koehler
Word was received Monday of the death of Hugo Koehler, 77, at Boise, Idaho. Mr. Koehler died Sunday [December 15, 1940] noon. His death was caused by a severe heart attack. He had suffered a bad fall a few weeks ago and it is though that hastened his death.

Mr. Koehler was a former Estherville resident, having moved from here thirty-six years ago. While here he was engaged in the carpentering and building profession and is credited with having erected several of the stores and residences which are still standing in this city.

No word has been received by relatives here regarding the funeral but it is expected the services will be held in Boise.

Besides his widow Mr. Koehler is survived by four sisters and two brothers. They are Mrs. Rosa Anderson of Washington, D.C., Mrs. Alma Ramshaw of Estherville, Miss Ilda Koehler of Estherville, Miss Adelaide Koehler of Estherville and Oscar and Emil Koehler of Estherville. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, December 17, 1940)
