From the Rochester Sentinel; Monday, August 11, 1919:
John KESLER, 83, two miles southeast of Talma, former auditor of Fulton county, died at the hospital here early Sunday morning, where he had recently undergone an operation. He had practically recovered from the effects of the operation when complications set in causing his death.
John Kesler was born in Ohio, where he resided with his parents until they moved on a farm in this county when he was 16 years of age. He has been a resident of Fulton county for 67 years.
He was twice married, both wives having preceded him. There survive five daughters, Mrs. James VANDORAN, of Mentone, Mrs. Oliver SEVERNS, of Mentone, Mrs. Robert EMMONS, of Warsaw and Mrs. Elmer RATHFON, of Talma, and two sons, John [KESLER], of Knox, and Milton [KESLER], of Talma.
Funeral at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Bethlehem church, northeast of the city. Burial at Sycamore cemetery.
-------------------------------
John Kesler and his first wife Mary Jane Kesler had two small children that died young, which I cannot yet account for:
George Kesler, b. 11 Sep 1863; d. 29 Jul 1864
Rufus Kesler, b. 12 Feb 1870, Fulton Co. IN; d. 6 Mar 1871
