HERMAN REICHERT cemetery #44 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. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Tuesday, July 24, 1900, Page 1 ********* 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.
