He went to the Lutheran church about 2 o'clock with his son Mr. Peter Gleiser, to be present at the funeral services of the late Mrs. Decher. On his way thither he complained of pain in the chest. Arrived at the church he was about to sit down in a pew but fell on the floor. Helping hands at once raised him and a medical man was sent for, who, after a short examination, found that the spark of life had fled.

    Mr. Gleiser was born on the 11th of February, 1815, at Schweinsburg, KurHessen, emigrated to America in 1841, came to Waterloo on the 8th of June of the same year where he resided up to the time of his death.
