HERMAN REICHERT

TOOK DEADLY POISON
Herman Reichert Swallows Carbolic Acid at Evergreen Cemetery
IS APPARENTLY CAUSELESS
Body Found By Sexton at Six O'Clock Last Evening-
Funeral To Be Held Thursday
Seized with some fearful delusion, Herman Reichert ended his earthly 
existence at Evergreen Cemetery yesterday afternoon. The deed must 
have been committed at about five o'clock, but the body was not found 
until shortly after six. Emil Schroeder, the sexton, happened to be 
walking through the cemetery at about that time, when he saw someone 
lying apparently motionless across a grave. Upon investigation it was 
found that the body was that of Reichert and that life had been extinct 
for some time. Officers were notified and Patrolman Gunder Benson took 
charge of the remains, which were at first taken to Frazier's morgue 
and later to the home of the deceased. Upon investigation it was found 
that Reichert had made away with himself by the use of carbolic acid. 
A bottle of that poison was found upon his person and drops of the 
liquor had evidently been spilt after he had taken the deadly draught 
for his face was burnt in spots. The body was carefully searched and 
besides the poison a bottle and an old revolver were found. The latter 
had certainly not been used for some time, for it was rusty and could 
not be fired. It is thought that the fact that Reichert was a special 
officer explains its presence upon his person. Two pocket books, one 
containing sixty five cents and the other some tobacco, a bunch of keys, 
a watch, lead pencil and some matches were also found in the dead man's 
pockets. Beneath where he lay were some scraps of paper on which were 
scribbled some unintelligible marks. All that could be made out was one 
little slip which was written "Good Bye Mamma." The spot where the 
suicide chose to close his career was the grave of his first wife. 
The coroner's inquest was held before Justice Markham this morning, the 
jury consisting of G.M. Frase, August Ladwig, Richard McGuire, Emil 
Schroeder, Peter Erickson, and Joseph Wolda. Considerable testimony was 
heard and it developed that Reichert had purchased the carbolic acid at 
the drug store of Knutzen & Roberts Monday morning at about ten o'clock. 
When asked by the clerk what he intended to use it for he said he wished 
to mix a wash for a horse and went on to say that he put twenty drops of 
the drug into a pint of water. He remained In the store about fifteen 
minutes, conversing about different matters. On the same day he visited 
Klingholz's store to see about a broken lamp, and there seemed to be 
perfectly rational. After a consideration of the evidence, the jury 
determined upon the verdict as follows: "That Herman Reichert came to 
his death on July 23, 1900, at Evergreen Cemetery, in this city of 
Manitowoc, by his own hand by poisoning." 
Reichert was forty three years of age, having been born in Germany 
August 24, 1867. At an early age he emigrated with his family to 
California and when still a boy came to Manitowoc, where he has since 
resided. For about seventeen years he was still employed at Henry 
Schmidt's livery barn, but for the last three years he has been a 
finisher in the local factory of the American School Furniture Company. 
His first wife died some years ago and he again married, both wives 
being daughters of Mr. Kubitz. By his first wife he had two children, 
George and Edward, to whom it is said the deceased has always been 
devotedly attached. As far as it is known no domestic troubles have 
existed that might have led to this terrible deed. Until quite recently 
Reichert had not been drinking. He was a kind husband and a good neighbor 
and a pall is cast over the community by his untimely death. Interment 
will take place at Evergreen Cemetery Thursday afternoon. Several 
relatives are expected to be here in time to attend the funeral.

From Der Nord Westen, 26 July 1900:
Mon. evening cemetery watchman Emil Schroeder found the lifeless body of
Hermann Reichert on one of the graves. A coroner’s inquiry determined that
Reichert had committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid mixed with whiskey. 
The 43-yr. old man was born in Germany but came to America with his parents 
while he was still a boy. He worked 17 years for Henry Schmidt and for the 
past three years for the Manitowoc Seating Co. His wife died several years 
ago leaving him with 2 children.
He later married his late wife’s sister, the widow of Henry Herzog, who 
brought 5 children to the marriage.

ANNA REIF  

From the Manitowoc Pilot, 27 Sept. 1906
REMAINS OF WOMAN FOUND IN THE LAKE
Body later identified, with a degree of certainty, as that of Mrs. A. Rief.
The body of a woman, aged about forty-eight years, was found floatin in the 
lake in shallow water, near the beach at the south pier, last Monday 
afternoon. The discovery was made by a little boy named Johnny Loef, who, 
with several companions, had been playing at the beach near the pier 
mentioned. The children hastened to make the discovery known, and a 
telephone message was sent to the police station. Two officers responded, 
and the corpse was taken to the undertaking rooms of Vogelsang & Murphy. 
The body was found to be clothed in a dark skirt and a light wesket. There 
were shoes on the feet and gloves on the hands. There were no marks of 
violence on the remains. The indications were that the case was one of 
accidental drowning, or one of self-destruction. The face was so badly 
decomposed and changed that it could not be recognized even by relatives 
and friends. But the discovery of a purse at the beach near the place 
where the corpse was found led to the identification of the remains. The 
purse contained four receipts obtained by Mrs. Anna Rief from business 
men of this city. The purse was found by John Fricke several days before 
the body was found, but Fricke did not report the find until after the 
discovery of the corpse. A cape and  a lady's hat were also found at the 
beach near the place where the body was found floating on the water. These
articles, as well as parts of the clothing on the body of the corpse, 
were identified by Mrs. Edward Heise  as being those of her mother, Mrs. 
Anna Rief. Mr. Heise also identified the hair and the height of the body 
as being that of his mother-in-law. The body was taken to the receiving 
vault in Evergreen cemetery Monday afternoon, and the decedent's children 
residing out of the county were notified by wire. Mrs. Anna Rief was born 
in this county and lived all her life in the county. Her husband, Peter 
Rief, died about ten years ago. The family resided on a farm at Rief's Mill. 
About a year ago Mrs. Anna Rief disposed of her farm to her son-in-law,
Mr. Kiel. Since then she had been making her home, off and on, with her 
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Heise of this city. She was 
last seen at the Heise home on Tuesday, Sept. 18, when she said that she 
contemplated making a trip to Antigo to visit her son Leonard, who resides 
on a farm four miles from that city. She had not been in good health for 
some time, but she had never exhibited any signs of despondency. She is 
survived by six children. They are: Mrs. Edward Heise, this city; Peter Rief, 
Chicago; Leonard, Antigo; Joseph, Kossuth; Mrs. Mathilda Rief, Rief's Mill, 
and one unmarried daughter.

RUDOLPH REMMER

UNKNOWN DEAD MAN KILLED IN FALL IS IDENTIFIED
VICTIM OF CLEVELAND ? IDENTIFIED AS RUDOLPH REMNER, MILWAUKEE, 
BODY MAY BE CLAIMED BY FAMILY
Identity of the man who died at the hospital in this city yesterday from 
injuries which he sustained in an accident at Cleveland Monday night when 
he fell from the roof of a building while engaged in cleaning a chimney, 
has been established, though no relatives have yet been located. 
Information has been received by L.A. Schmitz, of the county board’s poor 
committee, that the man is Rudolph Remer, the information having been 
obtained at Clover where the man is said to have spent some time lately. 
Residents there, who knew the man, have been asked to view the body here 
to make certain the identification. Remer, according to reports made to 
Mr. Schmitz, had been at Clover and in that vicinity for several weeks 
and left there Sunday or Monday, presumably on his way to Milwaukee, 
which is believed to be his home. 
One report says that the man is a resident of Sheboygan. The man’s face 
was so badly disfigured in the accident that positive identification will 
be a hard matter but Clover people are certain that the dead man is Remner. 
The body is at the Frazier undertaking rooms and is to be held while an 
effort is made to locate relatives in Milwaukee.

GEO. REUTHER PASSES AWAY AT CLEVELAND
Former Register of Deeds and Member of City Council was 64 Years Old
George C. Reuther, former register of deeds of Manitowoc county from 
1905 to 1908 and who served as a member of the city council from the 
Fifth ward, passed away at his home at Cleveland, this county, Sunday, 
aged 64. Mr. Reuther's body was brought here and will be at the Frazier 
mortuary until 9:30 tomorrow morning and will then be removed to the 
Masonic Temple from where funeral services with full Masonic rites will 
be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Few men were better known in Manitowoc county then George Reuther and 
none enjoyed greater popularity when in public life. He was a native 
of the county, born at Centerville July 23, 1863 and had spent his life 
in this vicinity. He attended the county schools and later was employed 
with the North Western Railway company and it was while with the company 
that he was elected to the city council. Later in 1905 he was elected 
register of deeds and served two terms-four years.
Turns to Banking
Later Mr. Reuther became identified with the Cleveland bank and in 
recent years he had followed salesmanship. He was married January 25, 
1898 to Hattie Behrens who with two sons Elmer and Frederick survive, 
another son Lester having died during the flu epidemic during the war. 
An aged mother, Mrs. Augusta Reuther at Brillion, three sisters Mrs. 
H.B. Schlichting, Mrs. Dale Andrews and Miss Sarah Reuther all of 
Brillion, and two brothers, Otto of this city and Emil, of Sioux Falls, 
S.D., also survive.
Ball Player and Fan
Mr. Reuther, during his younger days, became widely known as a ball 
player with Manitowoc teams and always retained a keen interest in the 
game, being at all times a loyal ball fan. He would walk miles for a 
chance to witness a ball game between Manitowoc and Sheboygan or other 
rival teams and was a familiar figure in the sport, and was a member of 
the organization which some years ago formed a stock company to give the 
city a team.
The death of Mr. Reuther does not come as a surprise to friends although 
he had been seriously ill for only about two weeks. He had been in failing 
health for months but only within the past two weeks had he been forced 
to give up his work and his decline in the last weeks was rapid.

VACLAV REZAC

11 YEAR OLD BOY IS THIRD RIVER VICTIM
WENCEL REZACH, AN ONLY SON, DIES AT NOON
Two Companions on Crabbing Trip Flee From Scene; Efforts To Revive Are Futile
A third river tragedy of the present season shortly before noon today claimed 
the life of 11 year old Wencel Rezach, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 
Rezach, 709 South Fifteenth street, and a student in the sixth grade of the 
Garfield school.
Young Razach fell to his death into the river while he was seated along the 
docks near the Wisconsin Public Service Corporation plant on the upper river 
and although he was taken from the river within ten minutes life was extinct. 
He and two companions were out catching crabs and three of them were about the 
docks when Razach was seen to fall headlong into the river. His two companions 
fled from the scene in terror before their names could be secured.
Dive for Body
The ???ll of the boy was seen by C.J. Virgin, in charge of one of the Northwestern 
crews at work near the scene, and by the crane operator of the Wisconsin Public 
Service corporation and the alarm was immediately sounded. They reported that the 
boy came to the surface twice and was seen no more. When news of the tragedy 
reached the power plant at about 11:40 a.m., Frank Musial, a company employe, 
left his work and dove for the body with Lon Medley, recovering it only a few feet 
from where he had gone down.
While Dr. R.W. Hammond was being summoned, rescue crews of the Wisconsin Public 
Service corporation applied the prone method of artificial respiration but they 
failed to revive the boy. After the doctor worked upon him for an hour without 
any sign of heart action being noted he pronounced him dead but the crew of the 
corporation continued their efforts without halting in the hope that the spark 
of life might be restored.
Arrangements Not Completed
Details of the boy's life could not be secured from the grief-stricken parents and 
funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. Annoucement of the time of the 
funeral and details regarding the boy's life will be published tomorrow.
The river had previously caused the death of two persons, a young North Side lad of 
nine years and a young West Side man being recovered from the river several weeks 
ago.
The body was turned over to the Wattawa and Urbanek Undertaking establishment by 
the parents.
