John Geiser drowned believed it was the Shell Creek. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Comparing death month on stone to entry in paper makes me believe the stone should read May 22, rather than June. Columbus Journal, May 23, 1894 GEISER--John Geiser lived on John Haney's farm four miles east of the city as a tenant. Latterly he had not been well; had been under the doctor's care, but had not been regarded as very seriously ill. On Monday he left the house about 11 o'clock and not appearing for dinner, the children went out to hunt him, finding him on the margin of the Loup river, south of the house, drowned. He leaves four children to mourn the loss of an indulgent father. There is not much to record in regard to him. He has had, in the sixty years of his earthly career, his share of trouble, among which may be mentioned the death of a daughter when twelve years old by a stroke of lightning, while she was hoeing cabbage in the garden; the loss of his wife by death a short time afterwards; the loss of his oldest son by death, after moving to Oregon. He had paid $300 of the $600 agreed on for the rent of Mr. Haney's farm, and it is supposed that he became despondent over the poor prospect ahead of him in the way of crops. Coroner Heintz went to the premises at 6 o'clock Monday evening, returning at 9, but did not think it necessary to summon a jury, as there was no doubt at all concerning the cause of death.
