Mr.. Reading was a first lieutenant in the Six
teenth Indiana regiment, having enlisted at
Richmond. this State In 1864 he went to work
for Drew & Shaw, carriage manufacturers, and
was afterwards stakeholder in the Shaw Car
riage Company and superintendent there for if-
teen years. He leaves widow and one child, a
girl six years old. Mr.. Reading was addicted to
the use of morphia for neuralgia to which he
was subject, and may have taken an overdose,

to the latter casualty from the fact that he had
received sunstroke few years ago.
The coroner thinks the death was caused by
sunstroke. There was no evidence that he took
any Of the morphine found on the body, for a
