The newspaper notice of his death:
''Richard H. Heller Dies of Paralysis''
''Almost Without Warning His Heart Ceased to Beat.''
''Had Been Unusually Jovial.''
''But Fifteen Minutes Elapsed Between Stroke and The Final Summons.''
''Richard H Heller who since 1880 has been an active and prominent citizen of Dubuque, passed away of paralysis of the heart about 3:45 Tuesday afternoon. He died almost without warning.''
''Mr. Heller during the afternoon was apparently in his usual health. In fact he had seemed unusually jovial. At the time of the stroke he was joking with a number of friends in the office of his cigar factory No. [?] Clay Street. Suddenly he became deadly pale, complained of feeling weak and all but swooned. He was hurried [or carried] upstairs to his room and a physician summoned. His heart action was poor. The doctor administered restoratives until it reached fifty-nine beats and the patient seemed on the way to recovery.''
''The doctor, after having given a few instructions, departed. No sooner had he reached his sleigh than the patient ceased to breathe. The physician was again summoned but before he reached the bedside Mr. Heller had passed into his long sleep. It was but fifteen minutes from the time when the stroke was received until the final summons came.''
''At the time of his death he was sixty-three years of age. He leaves a wife and nine children, all of whom have reached maturity, as follows: Mrs. Louis Vogt, Phillip and Charles, Mrs. Geo Schwartz, Fred and Christ, Mrs. Louis Stolte, [Waterloo], and Hilda. He is also survived by two brothers, -- William of Rice Township, Illinois, and Henry E. of Dubuque.''
''The funeral will be held at the late residence Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be at Linwood. Pastor Ficke of the Immanuel church, of which Mr. Heller was a member, will officiate.''
