The Belding Banner, Thursday, January 5, 1899
Death has again entered the ranks of Belding’s young people and taken the 
third victim in its relentless grasp in as little less than six weeks.  Friday 
all day Fred Rummler was at work as usual in his father’s tailor shop and 
feeling uncommonly well and happy.  That night about twelve o’clock he was 
taken with a chill which marks the first stages of the grippe and grew worse 
until he passed away at 6 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.  The best of nursing and 
medical skill seemed to have no effect in staying the disease.  

After Fred’s return from Santiago he was sick and confined to the house for 
some time with the fever contracted in Cuba and it left him physically weak 
and in no condition to combat an attack of grippe.  He has grown up from 
boyhood here, the family coming to the city ten years ago.  When the call for 
volunteers was issued Fred was one of the first to respond and enlisted in Co. 
I, 34th Mich. Inft. and with his company was in the Santiago campaign.  He 
returned to Montauk Point August 17th on his 28th birthday.  His death causes 
much sadness among his young friends and is a severe blow to his parents who 
have the sympathy of the entire community.

Funeral services will be held Friday at the Congregational church.
