John Heller died Sunday last at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Bennett, in Newport, Oregon He had been in poor health a year or more past, being a victim of diabetes. He and Mrs. Heller decided to take a trip to the Pacific coast, where two children reside, in the hope that benefit might result in his health, but the result was quite the contrary. The couple left here August 15, intending to remain about two months. Two weeks ago, Mr. Heller's condition became more serious and he failed rapidly.
