Wellsburg Herald: Siebold J. Reysack died Friday night of hemorrhage from the mouth, at the home of his son, Henry Reysack, north of Wellsburg. The funeral was held at the W. E. Muller church at 1 o'clock Tuesday of this week. Siebold J. Reysack was born in Ostfriesland, Germany, Feb. 2, 1840 and was 78 years old at the time of his death. He came to America in 1901, after the death of his wife in 1887, to join his son Henry, who came here in 1900. Mr. Reysack has lived here in Grundy county most of the time since. He leaves three children, all grown. They are Mrs. T. Mennenga, of Lake Crystal, Minn., Henry Reysack of Wellsburg and Rich Reysack who is now in the army and probably on the way to France. No answer has come to the telegram telling him of the death of his father.
