And mouInIngS tor the dead.


After making brave but losing fight
for his life, Sergeant Thomas Christian
Reinflart, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. E. Hess
Reintart, died at Camp Meade, Mary

o'clock. His relatives had seen him as
often as they were permitted TO do so,
and when he. passed peacefully away
his brother, ]. Quigley Reinlart, was
with him, having kept vigil from 7
o'clock in the morning. His death was
the result of the dreaded influenza,
which has caused so many fatalities in
the army environments. Pneumonia
followed the attack, and this in turn
resulted in a complication that required
a surgical operation. Last week hope
of his recovery was abandoned, but
with wonderful vitality he resisted the
approach Of death and it seemed that
he might have a chance 70 live. He
continued 70 grow weaker, however, and
despite the efforts of eminent surgeons
the inevitable end came. Although his
death had been anticipated for some
DAYS, the distressing news that ne was
no more cast a gloom over our commun-
Try, and many expressions Of sorrow and
Of sympathy for his parents and BROTH
ers and sisters were heard. He was N
the prime Of life, being % years OF age.
and though he gave his life in the ser
vice of his country, YET his friends can
not but mourn that he IS dead. Ser
geant Reinhart enlisted in the army in
Iuly, 1917, and most of the time had
been at Camp Meade, where he rem
dered efficient service. He was a line.
manly Young gentleman, of excellent
business qualifications, and had been
for some wears a successful drug sales
man. He is the first soldier from
Shephertstown TO make the supreme
sacrifice. Popular and genial, eXem-
plary in his conduct, Of nigh character
and right principles, his friends cannot
but grieve ar his death, while TO MS de-
voted family il is a sore blow. He Is
