Rock Springs Miner no. 5 February 04, 1905
Death of Albert Keirle.
Last Tuesday morning the sad news reached our citizens that at midnight Monday, Mr. Albert Keirle, an old and honored resident of Rock Springs had passed to the other side. Though a great sufferer for years and his decease was altogether unlooked for, the news of his death came unexpectedly to his friends.
Mr. Albert Keirle was born at Thomgrove, England, September 18, 1851. He crossed the waters when twenty-one years of age, settling in Illinois, where he lived six years. In 1878 he came to Rock Springs and was in the employ of the Union Pacific Company for several years. Fifteen years ago he became the proprietor of the Commercial hotel, in which business he continued until his death.
Mr. Keirle was a talented singer and no gathering of musicians was complete without him. He sang for years in the Congregational choir; later on he became a supporter of the Christian Science organization.
Last year, in company with his wife and son, he spent several months abroad and visited his old home, but the trip did not prove as beneficial as was hoped, and he returned home in the fall.
The funeral services were held at his home Wednesday afternoon. The large gathering which assembled, the many beautiful floral tributes and the deep feeling shown testifies to the love and respect with which the deceased was regarded. Rock Springs has lost an honored citizen, a genial friend and host, a fond father and a loving, thoughtful husband.
Rev. W. B. D. Gray, of Cheyenne, superintendent of missions, assisted by Mrs. Gray, conducted the services.
By special request Mr. Keirle's two favorite psalms the 91st and 105th were read.
The Choir was composed of Mrs. Thayer, organist, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Gates, Dr. Davis and Mr. Gail Reed, friends who had often sung with the deceased in the past. Mrs. Gates rendered an exquisite solo.
Those who carried him to his last resting place were Messrs. O'Donnell, Rier, Black, McDermott, Wassung and Blair.
On account of the severe storm the train bearing Hon. Joseph Iredale, a brother-in-law, to the funeral, arrived just as the exercises were closing. He brought with him a number of beautiful floral offerings from friends.
Mr. Keirle was laid to rest on the twenty-fourth anniversary of his marriage.
He leaves three brothers and six sisters in England and one brother in Australia, who with his devoted wife and son, mourn his loss.
The sympathy of the entire community go out to them in this hour of their bereavement.
