Jochim Micheel was found dead in his kitchen at about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon by Chester Walrath, who went to the house on West Lincoln Street to read the gas meter. He had evidently been dead since Friday for mail postmarked that day had not been taken from the mail box. He had evidently had been sitting on a chair by the window and was suddenly seized with heart failure. He had fallen forward on the floor and death came without a struggle. He was getting a meal and the gas burner was still going under the tea kettle.
The funeral will be held at the residence, formerly the Nels Truhlsen place, at 1 o’clock tomorrow, Thursday, and the body will be taken to the German Cemetery in Richland Township for burial. He was 72 years old last August and was born in Germany, coming to this country when 29 years of age. He was never married. He owned and worked a farm near the Frank Jahnel place, about six miles southwest of Blair, for many years, selling in about two years ago. It is now owned by Robert Anderson. He came to Blair to live a year ago last May. His only near relative in the country is Mrs. Marx Lamp, of Bennington, a sister.
