Maquoketa, Iowa, April 27--The news that Mrs. Bertha Geisler had passed away yesterday afternoon at her Pleasant street home is a terrible shock. Not even her most intimate friends realized that the end was so near. Mrs. Geisler was the mother of Harry Geisler, Maquoketa's young clothing merchant and Miss Anna Geisler, musician and artist.
