Grief Leads to Suicide  John Giesel Inconsolable Over Death of Infant Daughter  Drink Follows Despondency and a Bullet Finds the Bitter Sorrow  Wife and Two Children Survive
Grief over the death of his little five-year-old child caused John Giesel, a well-known saloonkeeper of the West End to commit suicide this afternoon by shooting himself through the right side of the head with a 30-caliber revolver. Death resulted almost instantly. The suicide occurred at the home of Henry Gaar, a turnkey at the county jail, who resides at 3502 West Chestnut Street. Giesel, who is thirty-eight-years of age, had been grieving ever since the death of the child six months ago. This morning he left his saloon, saying that he would not return today. He went to the residence of Mrs. Gaar, a sister-in-law, and requested that she accompany him to the cemetery in order that he might visit the grave of his child. Mrs. Gaar was busy at the time and was unable to go. Giesel then left the house, but returned about 1 o clock and renewed the request. Mrs. Gaar was still unable to accompany him. Giesel then went into the parlor and shot himself. Giesel and Henry Gaar married sisters, the daughters of Mr. Henry Dubourg. Since the death of his child, he had not been the same man and had lately been drinking very hard. Besides his wife and two children, aged nine and twelve years, Giesel is survived by three sisters, Mrs. John Barbee, Mrs. John Siebert and Miss Katie Giesel. He kept a saloon and grocery at Sixteenth and Southgate.

COURIER JOURNAL OBITUARY  09/04/1904
John Giesel, until Friday morning a partner of J. F. Rickert, who is held on the charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Emil Faesenmeier, committed suicide at 1 o clock yesterday afternoon by shooting himself through the head, at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Henry Gaar, of 3502 West Chestnut Street. Giesel threw Faesenmeier out of the saloon at Sixteenth and Southgate Streets before he was ejected by Rickert. Shortly before killing himself, Giesel asked Mrs. Gaar to go with him to the office of J. T. O Neal, saying that he desired to make a statement that would clear Rickert of the blame. He asked me if I would go to the office of J. T. O Neal with him while he made a deposition that would clear Rickert of the charge of killing Faesenmeier, said Mrs. Gaar, but I told him I could not accompany him on any such errand. He then walked into the parlor, and a moment later shot himself. He died almost instantly. Faesenmeier was ejected from the saloon on the afternoon of Saturday, August 27. He was arrested and taken to the jail on the charge of drunkenness and died at the City Hospital Friday night, after being in a stupor for several days. Dr. Harris Kelly, the Coroner, held a post mortem examination yesterday morning and found that the man died of a fracture at the vault of the cranium, which caused a hemorrhage of the brain. The fracture did not involve the base of the brain, said Dr. Kelly, and for that reason the man lived as long as he did. I will hold an inquest next week. When I came back to the saloon last Saturday afternoon, said J. F. Rickert yesterday, Giesel told me that he had thrown Faesenmeier out. It had been a common occurrence, and I thought nothing of it. Giesel went away and pretty soon Faesenmeier came staggering into the saloon again. I pushed him through the door and do not see how I could have injured him. He staggered and fell on the sidewalk outside and was picked up by Patrolman Gibbons. I saw Rickert put Faesenmeier out of the saloon. He did not use any violence, but just pushed him through the door, as any man would do a disorderly person. I don t think he could have hurt him. I picked him up and he walked to the patrol wagon. He was able to talk and was in his right mind, except that he appeared to be drunk. He had been on a spree for two weeks and had been around the saloon much of the time. When Faesenmeier was taken to the jail he was still conscious and was able to walk. He sank into a stupor last Tuesday and became worse, until he was removed to the hospital Friday afternoon. No one was present when Giesel ejected Faesenmeier from the saloon. Giesel was not present when Rickert put the old man out, and the question of what he could have said in the deposition he intended to make that, he said, would clear Rickert, is unanswered. Mrs. Gaar and other members of Giesel s family say that he was crazed with grief over the death of his six-year-old daughter, Julia Esther Giesel, who died six months ago. He had been continually worrying about Julia Esther, said Mrs. Gaar, He was raving about her when he came to my house Friday, and while he was lying on a sofa he tried to kill himself with a pistol, but I snatched it out of his hands just in time. I tried to make him give it to me, but he would not. Then he said he was going away, but after he had gone a little way he turned back and brought me a walnut. Julia Esther gave me this, he said, and told me to come back here and that you would take care of me. He remained all night. This morning he asked me to go to the cemetery with him, saying he wanted to buy a lot. I told him I would if he would let me search him. He said he would let me search, but turned the conversation. He gave me $75 to pay for a lot. He ordered flowers over the phone to be put on his daughter s grave. All the time he was in bed Friday night he kept talking to his daughter as if she were there. He would ask her to bring him a drink, and I would take it to him and he would become quiet again. This morning he asked me if I would not like to die with him, so we could both go to see Julia Esther. He went uptown in the morning and came back about noon. He told me that he had been to the saloon at Sixteenth and Southgate and had worked awhile because Rickert was in jail. Then he began talking about Rickert and said he wanted to make the deposition. I refused to go with him to the lawyer s office. When he turned away from me he started toward the parlor door, He held his hands high above his head, with the revolver in one of them. He disappeared through the curtains and the shot rang out. As soon as I saw what he had done I ran to the telephone and called Dr. Leo Bloch, but it was too late. He was simply crazy about the death of his daughter. He thought of nothing else, and try as we would, we were unable to get his mind off it. Giesel is survived by his wife, who was Miss Nellie Dubourg, and two children, Lizzie, twelve years of age, and Henry, nine years of age. He had been living at the rear of the saloon at Sixteenth and Southgate, but when he dissolved partnership with Rickert Friday morning Mrs. Giesel and the two children went to the home of her father, Henry Dubourg, on the Eighteenth-Street Road. She was there yesterday. I could not tell what made him want to dissolve partnership, said J. F. Rickert. and I tried to get him to remain in the business, but he refused. He gave no reason. He had been despondent about something for a long time. He had a share in the grocery and in the saloon, and I paid him for his part in cash. He seemed to be worrying about something, but never told me what it was. I never talked to him about this Faesenmeier trouble except when he told me he had put the old man out and that was a common occurrence. Henry Gaar, who is a guard at the jail, advised his wife yesterday morning that it would be best to have Giesel placed in jail until he got over the spell of despondency, but Mrs. Gaar feared publicity and was unwilling. She believed that she could discourage him in his determination to end his life, thinking that it was only a temporary fit of despondency. No funeral arrangements have been made further than that the service will be held at the residence of Mr. Gaar.

August Giesel, a molder employed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, died at 12:50 o clock this morning at his home, 1817 Ninth Street from the effects of laudanum, which he took yesterday afternoon with suicidal intent. He was a brother of John Giesel, who committed suicide by shooting himself two weeks ago. He is said to have made two previous attempts to end his life in the past few months. The cause of his deed is attributed to heavy drinking and domestic troubles. Giesel was found lying in a semi-conscious state on the pavement in St. James Court at 4 o clock yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Riley, who called the patrol wagon and had him removed to his home. Drs. A. E. Popham and John Casper worked with him up to the time of his death. Giesel purchased two ounces of laudanum at Peyton s Drug Store at Fourth Avenue and Hill Street. He broke the bottle into small pieces after swallowing the contents, leaving only the label intact. He was prevented from taking carbolic acid a month ago by his wife, who dashed it from his lips. A similar attempt was made several months ago. He had been drinking heavily for several days and raised a disturbance at his home yesterday morning, when he is said to have threatened to kill his wife.
