"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Sunday, December 27, 1903 L. B. SPIEKERMAN DEAD. Louis B. SPIEKERMAN, a prominent Elk, died of valvular heart trouble at his home, 3945 West Prospect, late yesterday evening. Mr. SPIEKERMAN was 47 years old and had lived in Kansas City for twenty-five years. For twenty years he was connected with Loose Bros. in the capacity of city salesman, but at the time of his death was employed in the same capacity with the Morris- Powers wholesale liquor house. For about the last two months he had not been in the best of health, but the illness which yesterday caused his death did not begin until a week ago. Since that time he had become rapidly worse, and yesterday early his condition grew critical. He leaves a wife and two daughters, aged 6 years and the other a few months. Mr. SPIEKERMAN had belonged to the Elks for years. The funeral will be from Father WALSH's church, Fortieth and Washington streets, Tuesday morning, at 9:30 o'clock. Further than this, no arrangements have been made.
