APOPLEXY CAUSES DEATH OF MR. NOAH MOHLER
**Handwritten: 1927

The sudden death by apoplexy of Mr. Noah Mohler occurred on Sunday morning at his home in Bonaparte. Mr. Mohler had gone to the pasture to milk his cow at about seven o'clock and on his return home had evidently felt somewhat tired and stopped at his barn for a short rest (indications were that he had set down to rest, when suddenly taken by apoplexy.)

He was found about eight o'clock by Perry Davis, who keeps his team in the Mohler barn. A physician was called and gave apoplexy as the cause of death.

Mohler of Larned, Kan.; Bertie, who died at the age of three and Mrs. Lem Henry, Jr. of Bonaparte. Mrs. Mohler died Nov. 13, 1887.

The two grandchildren are Mrs. Walter Crawford and Max Mohler of Larned, Kansas, and the great-grandchildren are Donald and Walter Crawford.
