Casper Kirchner, who resided on the south side of town, was in usual health at 10 o'clock Tuesday night and ate some fruit at that time. The next morning about 2 o'clock, his wife found him dead in bed, he having passed suddenly and quietly away, probably from heart disease.
Mr Kirchner was born in Saxe-Coburg, Germany, August 19, 1833 and he had intended to celebrate his birthday by giving a big dinner to friends and family next Monday. He had resided in this city and vicinity since 1860. He was a very large man, weighing upward of 300 pounds. Genial, honest and industrious, he was an excellent citizen and had a host of friends.
