Sudden Death of Merle Kaser
Attack of Pneumonia Brought on by Inhaling Dust From Clover Chaff
Merle Kaser, nineteen year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kaser, residing four miles northwest of the city died this morning at 7 o'clock under very unusual circumstances.
The young man was suffering with a cold yesterday but he spent most of the day in the fields on the farm hauling clover chaff. He was taken suddenly and seriously ill last evening and declined steadily until death ensued. Dr. S. B. Sims, of this city, and Dr. Yundt, of Mulberry, who attended him attribute his death to pneumonia. The young man undoubtedly inhaled some of the dust from the clover chaff and having a cold this condition superinduced pneumonia.
Besides his parents the young man leaves two sisters, Goldie and Nellie, and one brother, Glen.

Death Came Suddenly
Otis Kaser Died After Only Fifteen Hours Illness
Was Due to Rupture of Blood Vessel Between the Heart and Head -- Funeral Friday
Wednesday morning, Otis M. Kaser the eighteen year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kaser, died at his home on the John Ayers' farm, about four miles northwest of the city. His death was sudden, he having been sick only about fifteen hours. He had been at work in a field with a manure spreader. At noon he ate a hearty dinner and went to work in his usual good health. About three o'clock he came to the house and said to his mother that he had an awful headache. He told his mother that he would watch the team and that if he did not get better he would put the team in the stable. He got no better and ate but little supper and went to bed about six o'clock. About ten o'clock that night he was attacked with very severe pains under his arm. He told his father that he could not rest and came down stairs. Suddenly he said to his father: "Phone to the doctor; I am going to die," and immediately went into convulsions. Mr. Kaser phoned to Dr. Koonts at Mulberry, who hurried to the Kaser home, but could get nothing to give any relief. Dr. Sims of this city was called and he arrived about 4 o'clock, in the morning. The physicians were helpless in their efforts to give relief and at 7 o'clock death came, the convulsions continuing to the end.
An examination of the body after death showed that there had been a rupture of a blood vessel between the heart and the head, producing acute congestion.
He is survived by his parents, one brother, Glen, and two sisters, Nellie and Goldie. The funeral was held at the St. Luke's church at 10 o'clock Friday. The interment was in the St. Luke's cemetery.
