Mr.. HELLER was the father-in-law of
Bernard J. Riley, who conducts o large
manufacturing business in New Jersey
Railroad avenue, Newark, and was at
work in the plant of his son-in-law all
Gay yesterday. He was taken ill while
waiting for a trolley car at Bridge and
Ogden streets and was taken home in
a cab. DIR. T. Leo Callan, of East
Newark, was called on the case and
revived Mr.. HELLER temporarily. Late
last night he was seized with another
attack, however, and this proved fatal.
The illness of Mr.. HELLER dates back
to Decoration Day. 1908, when, as a
member of Phil Kearny Post No. l,
G. A. r., of Newark, he marched to a
Newark cemetery to help decorate the
graves of veterans.
Besides being a veteran of the Civil
War, Mr.. Hebler was q member of
Kearny Court, Independent Order of
Foresters. Had he lived until the 10Th
of this month he would have been 81
years old. His wife and daughter had
made plans to celebrate the event.
The funeral will take place Thursday
afternoon from his late residence. The
funeral ceremonies of the G. A. r. will
be conducted and a large number of
the members will turn out. Interment
will be in Woodland Cemetery.

Once we are on our feet you may take
