Mr. Fessler was taken sick with stomach trouble the first of last week and Sunday afternoon he began failing rapidly and died at about eight o’clock in the evening. The funeral services were conducted from the residence Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock by Rev. T. K. Hunter and the remains were inhumed in the Villisca Cemetery. The floral offerings were beautiful and an air of quiet reverence prevailed throughout the ceremony. The members of the I.O.O.F. Lodge attended in a body and took charge of the ceremonies at the grave. Nicholas Fessler was born in Germany, May 6, 1833 and came to america in 1863. He was married to Miss Louisa Angebower in 1855 at Atlanta, Illinois. To this union thirteen children were born, nine of whom are still living and were all present to do the last honor to all that was mortal of this deal old father. They are L. C. Fessler of Ottawa, Mrs. Wm. Thomason and C. N. Fessler of Villisca, Mrs. B. Morris of Chariton, Mrs. E. Y. Rlue of Villisca, Mrs. H. B. McAdoo of Hamburg, Mrs. James Moore and Ed Fessler of Villisca, and Mrs. H. A. Shiffer of Nodaway. The mother of this family of children was called to meet her reward, November 5, 1898. About eighteen months ago, Mr. Fessler was married to Mrs. Mary Davis of Emerson and she also remains to mourn the loss of one who was admired and respected by the whole community. With his son, C. N., Mr. Fessler was in the furniture business in our city from 1884, during which year the family moved to Villisca until 1898. He was a shrewd merchant, an industrious old gentleman, and he deserves credit for materially assisting in the building up of our city. The loss of this old gentleman is deeply felt.
