Gasped and Died
OAK (Shasta Co.), April 17 - Frank GEIGER, of this place, attended
Easter services at Redding Sunday, drove home in the afternoon, unhitched
his horse, went into the parlor of his father's house, sat down in a chair,
gave one gasp and died. He had not complained even of feeling unwell. Heart
trouble is the assigned cause of his sudden passing. He was a fleshy man
and
was aged 27 years. The funeral took place this morning from the Catholic
Church in Redding, where he attended Easter devotions Sunday.
BEREFT OF SON AND DAUGHTER
Death Lays a Heavy Hand On Aged Parents, Suddenly Taking Their Two
Children From Them
REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 18 - Mr. and Mrs. John GEIGER, living in
Happy Valley, lost a grown son and a married daughter, their deaths occurring
within twenty-four hours of each other. Both were sudden, and each was
caused by heart disease.
The Bee of Tuesday told how Frank GEIGER, the son, had died Sunday in the home of his parents after returning from Easter service. He sat down in a chair, gave one gasp and was no more.
When the bereaved father came to Redding the next day to make arrangements for the funeral of the son, he was given a telegram informing him that his only daughter, Mrs. Josephine LIMACHER, had dropped dead the evening before in her home in San Francisco. She left two children, one a babe of two weeks and another that had seen but one birthday.
The two funerals - those of the son and the daughter - were held at the same hour yesterday afternoon, the one in San Francisco, the other in Redding. Surely, aged parents like Mr. and Mrs. John GEIGER are seldom called upon to suffer the double sorrow that has befallen them.
Mrs. LIMACHER and Frank GEIGER - sister and brother - were natives
of Switzerland, though both were reared in Shasta County. They were universally
respected. Strangely, too, both had always enjoyed apparently perfect healthy,
and that both should drop dead so nearly the same hour and of the same
disease is a coincidence most remarkable.

GERTRUDE BLOHM PASSES AWAY
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. Blohm, both in Redding and Mott, will be saddened to learn of the death of their only daughter, Gertrude, age 12 years and 6 months. Some three weeks ago the deceased was taken to San Francisco in hopes that change of climate and best possible medical care would restore her health; but it was ordained otherwise, and the unfortunate parents are childless. Three little girls now lie side by side in Redding's cemetery. Three times have the parent's hearts been saddened and their heads bowed in grief.
Gertrude died on the 9th, inst., and the body arrived at Redding Monday,
with funeral rites taking place that afternoon from the Presbyterian Church
with Rev. J.J. Martin of the Methodist Church officiating. Many sympathizing
friends witnessed the funeral services.
