John William Messler, son of Jacob and Sarah Messler, departed this life at the Baker Nursing home in Chariton, Iowa, Feb. 10, 1945, at the age of 73 years, 7 months and 22 days. He had been a resident of this vicinity for many years.

Mr. Messler was a kind father and a splendid neighbor and his demise will be mourned by all who knew him. The sympathy of the community will go out to the grief stricken family.
His wife preceded him in death eight years ago.

These all cherish his memory with imperishable love and mourn their loss with a sorrow beyond expression.
