Death of Lester e. Kester.

Lester Z. KeSter was born in Lincoln
township, Audubon County, Nov. 6,
1885, and departed this life, Sept. 5,
1905, aged 10 years, 9 months, and 20
days. Leslie was a promising young
man, thorough student and of good
habits. Having completed the common
school branches, he continued his
studies by entering the Audubon High
School, where he endeared himself to
all, and was pronounced by his teach
ers to be one of the brightest of his
class. He, however, was prevented
by sickness, from finishing the course.
He taught successful term of school
in this county and since in the far
west taught a nine months term with
satisfaction to all, and was again chOs-
en- to the same position. He was
spending his vacation in the wheat
fields of Oregon, when he was sudden
! ly taken with pneumonia, and passed
away after four days of suffering, yet
was conscious to the last. He was
converted at the age of 9 years, and
had since confessed faith in Christ.
Some of the most pleasant memories
left the family are the spiritual letters
to them.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
at the Evangelical Church, conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Wendell. The
death of this young men is a great loss
to the family and calls out the sincere
sympathy of the community.
