John Edel, forty-seven years old, died suddenly at his home here last Thursday night. He had been up and about as usual that day and had been to town during the evening. A heart attack after his return home caused his death soon after 11:00 p.m.
John Ellis Edel, father of fourteen children, three of whom are in the armed forces, was born in Bremen Feb. 17, 1897 [sic], and had spent his entire life in this community. He was employed by Schlosser Brothers for many years but had been more recently employed at the South Bend airport. He was married in 1916 to Inez Frenger.
