Died-

Died at his home in Dubuque, Dr. C. M. Kegler, who is very well known to people of this county. The Dubuque Daily Telegraph of Monday, February 10th, contained the following:
At 5 o’clock Sunday morning Dr. Kegler, the well known cancer specialist, passed away at his home at the corner of Tenth and Main streets. Christian Matthias Kegler was born in Germany, February 24, 1848. Coming to this country at three years of age, he settled with his parents on a farm near St. Donatus. On February 11, 1877, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Knowles who, with eight children, three sons and five daughters, survive him. Dr. Kegler embarked in business at Springbrook when he was proprietor of a large general store. In addition to this he was interested in several large creameries in Jackson County. His unquestionable integrity and honorable business methods won for him success in whatever he undertook and there was not in Jackson County a man better known or any more ready to do kind service for a friend or neighbor, regardless of recompense than Dr. Kegler. He came to Dubuque about eight years ago. Dr. Kegler was a man of genial temperament and the good he has done will live long after him. His remains were shipped today to Springbrook for interment. Services will be held tomorrow at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church.
