DEATH NOTICE: Tuesday, April, 6, 1915, The Daily Interlake. "Respected Citizen Suddenly Called To Reward: Edwin (sic) Meuli Is Victim Of Heart Disease - Employed As Deputy Assessor".
      Word has been received that Edwin (sic) Meuli died suddenly at his home near Demersville, at about 1:15 this afternoon. Heart disease is said to have been the cause of death.
      Mr. Meuli has been employed in the county assessor's office as a field deputy. He worked up to Saturday night, at which time he complained of not feeling well and asking for a few days' furlough so that he might recuperate. It seems that he continued to grow worse, but at no tie was he considered in danger. It was considerable of a shock to his fellow workers at the court house when the news of his death was telephoned to them shortly after the end came. During tax collecting time last fall Mr. Meuli was a deputy in the county treasurer's office. He was of a quiet disposition and was heartily admired by all who knew him, and his sudden death will be generally deplored. He is survived by a wife and several children.
      The particulars regarding the funeral will be announced later.
