Reinbeck Man Dies From Heat

John Ohrt from Reinbeck was overcome by the heat last Saturday and he died within ten minutes after he was stricken. He was cranking an engine on the Cummins farm south of Hudson when he was overcome and he was dead before a doctor reached him.

Mr. Ohrt was about 35 years old. He had been a farm machinery salesman for many years and all implement dealers in this county were well acquainted with him.

Funeral services were held at Reinbeck Monday.
