Elijah KISER died suddenly and unexpectedly Tuesday about 10 o'clock a.m. Mr. KISER lived near Kentuck Post Office in Washington District. He had not been well for some time but was able to go to the office that morning. On his return he seemed fatigued and lay down across the bed to rest. A few minutes later his wife was attracted by a noise from his room and rushed to his side to find him unconsious. He expired within a few minutes without speaking. Heart trouble is given as the cause of his death. Mr. KISER was 73 years of age and is survived by two sons and one daughter, Noah and Jeff, and Mrs. G. W. COOK, all of Roane County. The remains were taken to the old KISER homestead and interred Wednesday. (The cemetery is in Roane County) (Mountaineer, 14 June 1912)
