His (demise was sudden and unexpected as he was only ill for three days. On Saturday Mr. Heyl was seized with a severe attack of indigestion and very shortly after became seriously ill.

Mr. Heyl was a native of Germany, where he was born seventy years ago, his birthday falling on the 29th of February. When very young he came to the United States with his parents and grew to manhood here. When the war broke out he was living in Missouri and enlisted in the Twelfth Missouri regiment and served until the close of the strife when he went to Chicago, where he was united in marriage with Catherine Veith, who with a family of sons and daughters survive him. He lived at Dixon, III, and later farmed in Nebraska and was also engaged in the milling business. Prior to coming to LeMars he lived in Ida and Sac counties.

Besides the bereaved wife he leaves several sons and daughters. They are Henry, of Alcester, S. Dak ; Edward, of Laurel, Neb.; George, of Akron; Lewis, of Newcastle, Neb ; Wyatt, of LeMars, and Fred, of Iowa Falls; Mrs. G. A Bliesener, of Regina. Canada, and Mrs. Hermann Frahm, Bona, Colo.
