Philip J. Keiser, a barber of Murphysboro, died Tuesday at St. Andrews hospital in that city. Bright's disease and blood pressure caused the death.

He was a member of the Catholic church, and also belonged to the Woodmen of the World, Knights of Columbus and Ben Hur.
Mr. Keiser was married twice. His first wife was Mame Dunlevy. Two children of this union survive. They are: Mrs. Elmer Franzman of Cannelton, Indiana, and Miss Irene, at home.
His second wife, who survives, was Clara Burgess, whom he married at Pinckneyville in 1913. They had no children.
Other survivors are the mother, of Cannelton, Indiana; four brothers, Godfrey and Ferdie, of Cannelton; Matt, of Evansville, Indiana; Joseph, of Murphysboro; and two sisters, Mrs. Harry Warnke of Monse, Washington and Joseph Rita of St. Mary's of the Woods Convent, Terre Haute, Indiana.
