Joseph Kester, a brakeman on a Valley coal train, who was taken suddenly ill while on duty one week ago, died last night at his home on Wilkes-Barre Street. The deceased was 35 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. The cause of this illness is attributed to an attack of the grip, from which had never fully recovered. Besides his wife and children he is survived by his mother and a sister, Mrs. William Roseberry, of Easton. He was a member of the Brakesmen's Brotherhood and of St. Peter's Reformed Church. The funeral will take place Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
