STRICKEN WHILE AT WORK
Two Rivers Chronicle -
Frank Gebler, a well known farmer of the Town of Two Rivers, died suddenly yesterday afternoon, while at work in one of his barns. For several weeks past Mr. Gebler had complained of pains in his chest and at times found breathing quite difficult, but he was apparently in good health and attended to his daily labors. One of his sons was with him when he was stricken. He stopped working and it appeared as though he was about to take a few minutes rest when he dropped dead. His son caught him as he fell.
Mr. Gebler was an exceptionally strong and robust man and the news of his sudden death was a shock to his neighbors and numerous friends. He was 60 years of age and is survived by a wife and two sons and two daughters. He was born in the Town of Two Rivers and was married in 1884 to Alice Butts.

FRANK GEBLER

The death of Frank Gebler of the Town of Two Rivers was a sad blow to
his family and many friends. It was unexpected and sudden coming upon
him while he was taking shelter from a rain storm in the barn on his
farm. He was at work in the field when a heavy rainstorm came up
suddenly and he ran to the shelter of the barn. Mr. Gebler, although in
reasonably good health, suffered occasionally from rheumatism and
fearing that a wetting might bring on an attack, he was always
particular to keep out of the rain. His haste to gain shelter resulted
in over-exertion, heart failure and death. He fell back dead after
having seated himself on a stool in the barn just as his son, Frank
reached him. Mr. Gebler was born in the Town of Two Rivers in 1855. He
spent most of his life in Two Rivers but resided for years in Plymouth,
Wis., where he conducted a store. He sold his mercantile business and
purchased the Gebler farm of his mother in Two Rivers and conducted the
farm up to his death. While in Mapleville, Ill., during his college
days, he became acquainted with Miss Alice Butts whom he later claimed
as his bride. Besides his wife he is survived by his aged mother, two
daughters, Mrs. Kurt Wilke of this city and Gertrude and two sons, Frank
and Elton. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the
Evangelical Church of which Mr. Gebler was a devout and earnest member.
