Obituary
It becomes are sad duty to chronicle the death of Comrade Gabriel. A good man has gone from among us, one whose bright smile and glad greeting always impressed you with the fact that you were in the presence of a soul devoted to the grand work of making others happy, for in all things he was a grand man, living a pure and honest life and using all possible effort to persuade others to discard selfishness and live in strict accordance with the golden rule.
Trangott Gabriel was born at Prestran Germany, November 8, 1846, died, December 9, 1902, aged 56 years 1month 1 day. Comrade Gabriel was married to Miss Anna Getts at Lawrence, Kansas, Nov. 6, 1869, ten children were born to them, nine girls and one boy, of whom four girls and the boy are still living; Mrs. Bertha Cohler, of Colorado Springs, Miss Sarah, Miss Doris and littel Pearl. The son Robert resides at Kansas City and is employed as a traveling salesman for a wholesale hardware firm of that city.
Mr. Gabriel passed away without suffering, apparently falling asleep. He had worked the day before his death at the shop, and was speaking of how well he was feeling; but alas, the next morning before he had risen the machinery of life had run down and he had died from heart failure, before the family were aware of his taking away. Peace to hi soul! The trials and troubles of this life which he had met so bravely and cheerfully, are now over with him forever, but his work for the uplifting of mankind will long live to bless his memory. He was a kind and loving husband, and indulgent father and a good citizen. The SOCIALIST extends its sincere sympathy to the sorrowing and grief stricken family in this affliction and bereavement over their irreparable loss.
