FOURTH DEATH IN REINMULLER FAMILY
The fourth death from influenza to occur in the Reinmiller family of Saginaw within two weeks, was that of Robert Reinmiller, at 11 o'clock last night.
Reinmiller was removed Saturday from St. John's hospital to the home of his brother, Witt Reinmiller, 2205 Moffet avenue. Miss Louella Reinmiller, his niece, died at the same address at 9 o'clock Saturday night. A double funeral service is being planned for the two relatives.
Two weeks ago yesterday the burial of Mrs. Junetta Reinmiller Wasson, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. James W. Reinmiller, and youngest sister of Miss Louella, was buried at Forest Park cemetery. Influenza, which set in following a two weeks' illness of pneumonia, caused her death. Other members of the family contracted influenza, before the serious nature of the malady was realized, and the death of a brother, James Reinmiller, was the following Saturday, with burial one week ago yesterday.
The parents have been very low since Mrs. Wasson's death. Mrs. Wasson's husband, John W. Wasson, is in naval service.
Robert Reinmiller's death marked the close of his twenty-ninth birthday. For three years he had resided at Saginaw, just north of the home of his brother, James W. Reinmiller, where he conducted a dairy. He was justice of the peace of Shoal Creek township, Newton county, and deputy sheriff under Mertin Sanders. Reinmiller formerly lived in Joplin. While here he was chief clerk of the union freight depot.
His wife, who survives, was Miss Lena Burlingame before her marriage. There are two children, Dorothy and Robert Reinmiller, Jr. Reinmiller also leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. L. McKinnis of Summerville, Ore., and Mrs. T. B. Shunk of Joplin, and five brothers, James Reinmiller of Saginaw, John and George Reinmiller of Englmine, Cal., Homer Reinmiller of Louisville, Ky., and Witt Reinmiller of Joplin.
The double funeral service for Miss Louella Reinmiller and Robert R. Reinmiller will be at Forest Park cemetery at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. – Joplin News-Herald
