“A. P. Kester Victim Uremia Poisoning”

Albert Porter Kester died at his residence on West Third Street
from a complication of diseases brought on by high blood pressure
and uremia after an eight days illness.

Mr. Kester, owner of the City Restaurant, was stricken while at work
in the restaurant and became seriously ill from the start.  At times
he appeared to be regaining consciousness, but relapses followed each
time.  A specialist, called here from Indianapolis, was unable to hold
out any hope.

Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev. Clugston, with
burial at Crown View cemetery.

As a token of respect for Mr. Kester the calf club picnic activities
were stilled for five minutes during the ceremony.

Mr. Kester is survived by the window and a young son, Frank.  His father,
who has been living with him for some time, also survives.

He was fifty-three years old and had been a resident of Sheridan for some
ten or fifteen years, coming here from Clay County.
