- Village Treasurer, Frank Kleiber, died suddenly on the morning of Saturday, July 1st. The cause of death was apoplexy. He had not been seriously ailing was up and about his business as usual the day before and the now grief stricken family was entirely unprepared for the terrible visitation.
Decedent was born in the town of Maple Grove in 1872, and spent his boyhood days on the farm there. In 1897 he was married at Kasson to Frances Pritzl, the loyal and loving wife who now survives him. In 1902 Mr. and Mrs. Kleiber removed to Thorpe, Wis., where they lived until 1906, when they returned and took up their residence in our city, Mr. Kleiber going into the saloon business. At the spring election he was elected to the office of village treasurer. His church affiliation was catholic and he was an active member of the local branch of Catholic Knights and of the Askeaton camp of Catholic Foresters. He was a man of excellent character and highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances. They sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereft widow and family. Only the day before his death he had taken out a new saloon license. Fortunately both husband and wife come of large and well-to-do families, good and kindly people who will see that the widow's pathway will be eased in the future days.
Besides the widow, deceased is survived by three sons, Frank, Clarence and Wilbert, and two daughters, Ella and Monica, all at home. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kleiber also survive. Four brothers, John on the farm, Joseph, proprietor of the Reedsville Roller Mills, Paul at Kasson and Mike, implement dealer in our city, also survive.
