- TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
Joseph Sieren was found dead in the granary at the home of his son-in-law Monday morning. His son-in-law is William Greiner and resides in Clear Creek township. Mr. Sieren was seventy-one years old and some thing life a year ago his wife died. Mr. Sieren has been in poor health and he has been living around with his children. Undoubtedly it was ill health that caused the act.
[Clipping from the Sigourney Review - issue of July 4, 1928]
- People in and around Harper were shocked Tuesday morning when they learned that Joe Sieren had commited suicide by hanging himself with a clothesline. Mr. Sieren was seventy years old and had been living with his son-in-law, Mike Greiner. For the past few months he had been taking treatments and had complained of a buzzing in his head. The Greiner family missed the old gentleman about nine o'clock and upon searching about the premises found him handing by a clothesline in the woodshed. It was thought that he had been dead for a least an hour. His wife preceded him in death about a years ago. Funeral services were held at Harper Wednesday morning.

- Joseph Sieren was born in Germany June 7, 1857 and died July 2nd, 1928. He came to this country March 25th, 1875, age the age of eighteen years, and settled in Clear Creek township, Keokuk County, which community was always his home, until 1916, when he moved to Harper, Iowa. In 1878 he was unitedin marriage to Anna Heisel, who preceded him in death July 10th, 1900. To this union were born nine children, three of whom preceded him in death: August, who died in 1897; Joseph in 1920; Mrs. Mary Palmer in 1926. In 1903 he was again married to Helena Wellenstein, who passed away on September 16th, 1927, after which time he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Wm. P. Greiner. Surviving him are the following children: Peter, Michael and Nicholas of Clear Creek; Mrs. Margaret Merz of Harper; Mrs. Anna Conrad, Hillsboro; and Mrs. Rose Greiner, Keota. There are also 42 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. His tragic death was a great shock to his family and friends. He had suffered a stroke three years ago and had been afflicted with poor health since. Especially since last September hadhe been less than himself than previously. Although science was able to do little for him his sufferings caused him to seek relief from many doctors. Last winter he spent three weeks taking treatment in Ottumwa and more recently he had been making regular trips to Sigourney, but all to no avail. A large man when in good health, he had fallen off more than 100 pounds in weight in a few months previous to his death. Since about the first of May he had been visiting at the John Merz home near Harper and his son-in-law, Oren Palmer, had brought him to the Greiner home only the Sunday before his death, which occurred July 2. Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 4, at 9 A.M., Ss. Peter and Paul's Church, Clear Creek, in charge of Rev. Wm. B. Schmidt. Interment was in Clear Creek cemetery.
