LIFE’S JOURNEY IS ENDED FOR GEO. F. REUM
Well Known Successful Business Man Goes the Way of All Mankind

	After an acute illness covering a period of about 30 days, Geo. F. Reum passed
away at about 10 o’clock this morning at this home in N. 3d street, aged 52. 
Death was due to cirrhosis of the liver.
	Mr. Reum, who was known as a successful business man and good citizen, was born
in Niles, Nov. 25, 1864.  He first engaged in the retail liquor business 28
years ago, but soon began to branch out and acquired a profitable wholesale
trade also. As the years rolled on, he prospered, and had acquired a competency
when he retired from business in the spring of 1915.  However, a life of
retirement did not suit him, and he soon engaged in the bakery business, which
he sold out a few months ago and went to Kansas in hopes that rest, change of
scene, and recreation would benefit his health, but this was not to be and he
returned a few weeks ago to die “at home.”
	On Oct. 30, 1889, Mr. Reum married Miss Carrie Mikesell, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. F. Rahn, pastor of St. John’s church.  This marriage proved a
happy and fortunate one.
	Fraternally, Mr. Reum was identified with the Elks, I.O.O.F, and the German
Workingmen’s Asso.  He leaves a widow, five brothers and three sisters to mourn
his untimely demise.  The brothers and sisters are John, Carl, and Chris of
Niles; Gus, of Deerfield, Ill., Ernest Reum, and Mrs. Minnie Fihn, of Shell
Lake, Wis.; Mrs. Anna Gillette and Miss Carolyn Reum of Grand Rapids.
	The funeral will take place from St. John’s church at 2:30 o’clock next Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. F. Han officiating, assisted by Rev. W.H. Phelps. Interment will
be made in Silver Brook cemetery.
