Obituary: Herman Reuter, Sr., for many years one of the highly respected and 
esteemed residents of our city, Saturday morning at 8:15 o'clock, passed away at 
the home of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. William KASUBKE, at 613 North Easton 
Street, aged 81 years, 9 months, and 2 days. Mr. Reuter was a native of 
Germany, having been born in that country on July 1, 1838. When of mature age 
he was united in marriage in his native land with Miss Ernestine MUELLER, and 
in 1884 the family came to this country. In 1892 the grim reaper summoned the 
wife and mother, and Mr. REUTER later entered upon his second matrimonial 
venture with Mrs. Caroline IMMENROTH, who also proceeded him in death 
about 4 1/2 years ago. He was the father of seven children, of whom four 
proceeded him in death. Mr. REUTER, during the active years of his life 
followed the vocation of a miner. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon 
at 2 o'clock from the home of Mrs. KASUBKE, with whom he had been residing 
for the past several months, followed by the sermon at Zion Lutheran Church, 
Reverend J.G.F. KLEINHAUS officiating. Internment was in the Staunton City 
Cemetery. Mr. REUTER was an esteemed member of the local Zion 
congregation. Those left to mourn the passing of a kind and loving father and 
friend are: two sons, Ernest REUTER of our city and Edward REUTER of 
England; one daughter, Mrs. Ernest ULLMAN, seventeen grandchildren and 
many more distant relatives and friends. May he rest in peace.
