ORVILLE KIZER DEAD
Was Well Known Life long Resident of Niles
Orivill[sic] Kizer passed away last evening abut 8:30 o'clock on the farm on Yankee street, which was formerly Miss Oberweiser's home, where he and his family have resided since last spring.
Mr. Kizer's death was due to dropsy from which he has been a sufferer for several months although he was able to be down town about a week ago.
Mr. Kizer, who was about 35 years of age was born in Niles and has practically resided here all his life.
He was a laundryman by trade and for about 10 years was employed at R.M. East's laundry and later worked at the Niles sanitary laundry.
Besides his widow, who was formerly Miss Alta Kemple of Niles, the deceased is survived by four children, the eldest of whom is 13 years old and by his parents Mr. and Mrs. E. Kizer and a sister, Mrs. R.E. Rice of West Niles.
Mr. Kizer was formally a member of Niles camp M.W.A. but he allowed his policy to lapse some time ago.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the home.
