She had gone to the attic to work at 10 o'clock in the morning, and when her children could not find her when they came from school for lunch, they summoned a neighbor who discovered the body in the attic. The Duquesne Light Company first aid squad was summoned, but attempts to revive her were futile. The body was removed to the Sheets Funeral Home and later returned to the family home, where the funeral service was held last Saturday afternoon. Interment was made in Sylvania Hills. Born in Meyersdale, Mrs. Reehl was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams. She graduated from the local high school and was married in May 1924 in the Methodist Church here. Her mother was for some years janitress of the church. She was a member of the Bridgewater Methodist Church, and for several years was director of the Community Players of Bridgewater. She is survived by her husband; three sons, G.M. 1/c William Jr., in the South Pacific area, and Donald and Alan, at home, and two daughters, Millicent and Katherine, both at home. Meyersdale Republican, March 8, 1945
