ANTON REINEKE DIES FROM HEAT PROSTRATION

Is Brother of Man Whose Death Was Announced Two Weeks Ago.

------ -------------------------------------

Anton Reineke, who has been farming south of this city, died on last Friday morning as the result of heat prostration. He had been taken to the hospital several days previous but no treatment could avail to avert the fatal end. The funeral was held Monday morning in SS. Peter and Paul Church and burial was made in the cemetery of that parish.

The deceased was 28 years old and has lived all his life in Carroll County. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Reineke, whose home is on South Adams Street in this city. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his departure, besides his parents and other relatives. The blow to the parens is made doubly hard by the fact that another son, John J. Reineke, was found dead in his field about three weeks ago, death also being due to heat prostration. It was Anton who discovered the dead body of his brother, in the corn field where the latter had been at work.
