Everett Alexander Kessel
29 September 1892 ----- 29 June 1956

Everett Alexander Kessel, son of Nancy and Thomas Kessel, was born September 29, 1892 at Reinard, Ill. Mr. Kessel came in 1909 with his parents to Iowa and has lived in the neighborhood of Eagle Grove and community since then. He was united in marriage to Jennie Ferguson on July 22, 1914. To this union three sons were born, Donald, Eagle Grove, Wayne, Dows, and Harold, Cavina, Calif.

Although his passing was sudden, he had several warnings of a weary heart. Early on Friday, June 29, he awoke with pain. The doctor was called, and he was taken to Mercy hospital at Fort Dodge, where he passed away at 5:30 a.m. at the age of 63 years and nine months.

He leaves to mourn, his wife, three sons and six grandchildren. Also, surviving are two sisters – Marie (Mrs. Arthur Goeke) of Elmore, Minn., and Glenn (Mrs. Lyle Sawyer) of St. Peter, Minn., and two brothers Lee, Elmore, Minn., and Loren, Bricelyn, Minn., and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, one sister, and one grandson.

Anyone who has known Mr. Kessel will remember his willingness to lend a helping hand and his friendly greeting to his friends. He had a place in many lives, to each a different meaning but to all this parting leaves an emptiness. He did his best for his family and will be missed by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
