Obituary.

Joseph HISEL was born in Belgium December 6, 1844. He, with his parents, brothers and sisters, crossed the waters to America at the age of nine years.

In early life he visited Pike's Peak and the gold fields of the west, but came back to good old Jefferson county, locating in Cedar township, where he has since made his home. His love for fine stock made him one of the most successful farmers of Jefferson county.

A few years ago Mr. HISEL had a slight stroke of paralysis and on August 21, 1914, he suffered another stroke as he was arising in the morning, from which he never regained consciousness.

Everything that loving hands could do was done but to no avail for death claimed him.

Mr. HISEL was a good citizen and was held in the higest esteem by all who knew him. He was of a retiring nature but of an independent mind and was a well-informed man, and his judgment was often sought. He was not a member of any church but always gave liberally to all contributions for good and always insisted on his family attending worship, Methodist being his preference.

In 1869 he was united in marriage with Miss Martha HOWARD and the have (sic) traveled life's journey together. Three children blessed this union, Charles. of Center township, A. W., on the home place; and Gertie SINN, of Denver, Col. A brother, Louis HISEL of Fairfield, and a sister, Mrs. Mary DALMAS of Wapello, also survive him and were at his bedside when death came. Mrs. SINN was unable to be present at his death but arrived shortly afterward.

He was a kind hearted, affectionate husband and father and his children are living monuments to his memory and when Joseph HISEL stepped across thə (sic) mystic borderland there ended upon this earth one good, useful, blameless life.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the home and a large concourse of friends were present to pay their last respeets (sic). Interment was made in the Evergreen cemetery.
