Christ Adam Kaiser was born on
March 1, 1874, in Otoe County. Nebraska, There he was baptized by Reverend, Hempler; In the year 1887 he
with his parents moved to Phillips County, Kansas.  Here he received religious instruction, first by Reverend Dilger then by Reverend Schutz, who also confirmed him in the year 1892.

After working at home, he secured home place for himself.

In the year 1904 he was married to Emma Woerlin in Nemaha County, Nebraska.
Three boys and three girls were given, to them, who with their mother feel  the terrib1e shock of the happening,
which is a1so extremely felt by an old mother with four sons, who have had so much sorrow and affliction In their
relation. The terrible news of ending this life must be known now by all, happened February 5, forenoon, at the age of 45 Years, 11 months, 6 days
All the deceased was a faithful member of our church, fu1filling his duties as well al everyone, and loved by all, we lament it all the more am cannot understand how anyone who used the means of grace so faithfully can commit such a crime.  It is deplorable that any person should take his own life, but it seems doubly so when a confessor of Christ, especially warned by late sad happenings in this vicinity, ends his life. We know that taking one's own life is a great
sin and cannot be excused, because many bible words tel1 us that life is a gift of God, and only He, He alone, can take it. But besides we know that God is the Judge of this soul..
We who are still living and have yet time to prepare ourselves, should remember how the bible warns us that the devil always takes advantage of our weak nature if we do not watch and pray.

So, therefore,

"Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."-Rev. F. Schardt.
