DANIEL HENRY HASSLER - Death and obit notice
FOUND DEAD
Sudden death of Daniel Henry Hassler from heart disease.
One of Evansville's oldest citizens gone.
Our older citizens were very much shocked yesterday morning by learning that Henry Hassler, proprietor of the European Hotel was discovered dead in his bed.
All day Wednesday he busied himself about the house as was his usual, indded he appeared more than ordinarily hearty and industrious.
He had been constructing and completed at the time of his death a draught pipe, or wood pipe at the rear of the barroom to carry any offensive odors that might arise in the kitchen up thru the roof so that they would not pervade the dining room.
It is questionable that if the act he did not too assiduously and overtaxed himself.
He gave no evidence at night however of being ill nor even manifest weariness and went to bed at the usual hour after supper having talked cheerfully with his daughter Annie previous to doing so.
As soon as the discovery of the deceased Dr Muhihausen was sent for who after examination pronounced him dead and instructed the family to send for the coroner,
This was done promptly and an inquest was held finding the following facts,
Henry Hassler son of the deceased stated that he had not seen his father after supper that was his usual until about half past ten o'clock when the older gentleman came downstairs for a drink when in fact he mentioned he was unable to sleep, He passed up the stairs shortly and did not see the deceased until he was cold in death.
The daughter of the deceased Annie stated she went upstairs to call him to breakfast but received no answer, thinking he was sleeping and not wanting the desire to disturb him she came down the stairs and when she next saw him he was cold in death.
The old gentleman was more than a ordinary early riser for a man of his years and when he had not come down by 10:30 o'clock she went up again.
This time she observed him closer and from his rigid appearance she concluded he was dead, she rushed downstairs for her brother and both repaired to the old mans chamber.
The terrible suspicion was corroborated by Henry who found him already cold.
Drs Pollack and Ross were summoned to make a examination of the body which resulted in conclusion the death was caused by disease of the heart, No postmortem was held and the coroner based his verdict on the physicians decision.
Mr Hassler was born in Germany and lived in Evansville for 41 years and at the time of his death was 71 years and ten months, He was one of our oldest citizens, was frugal and highly industrious, a member of the Catholic Church.
His son John of First St has arrived,His nephew is Henry Hermann the confectioner of Main St.
