George W. REACHARD, 75 years old died Thursday evening at 6 o'clock at the home 
of his daughter, Miss Cora REACHARD, 124 North Water Street.  Mr. Reachard had 
been suffering from the effects of a paralytic stroke for several years. His 
death was unexpected.  Mr. Reachard was well known in North Hopewell township, 
where he formerly resided. He was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran church, this 
city.  Besides his wife, he leaves his daughter, Miss Cora Reachard, and four 
sons, John H. Reachard, Yoe; A. S. Reachard, present address unknown; E. B. 
Reachard, of Pittsburg and D. A. Reachard, at home. The funeral services were 
held yesterday afternoon at 12:45 o'clock from his late residence.
Rev. Peter Livingston, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran church, officiated.
The pallbearers were four sons of the deceased: John, Ervin, Albert and Harold 
Reachard. Following short services at the house, the cortege proceeded to Mt. 
Pleasant church, below Winterstown, where further services were held at 2 
o'clock. Burial was made in the adjoining cemetery. The funeral was largely 
attended, many automobiles being required to convey the mourners to the 
cemetery.
