JOHN KOHLER

An old man named John Koehler, a former resident of the Third ward of this 
city, went to Texas some time ago. He returned last week and went to the 
house of his son-in-law. In a few minutes he complained of feeling ill and 
soon dropped on the floor, dead. A post-mortem examination showed he had not 
eaten food for some time, as the stomach was empty. It was not for want of 
means as he had $400 in his pocket.
