Notes from H. Reitz-
I have a copy of his obituary printed in the local newspaper
at the time of his death. "The Paxton Times". In the obituary his death date was December 25, 1944 - he died in the Sutherland Hospital @ Sutherland, Nebraska at the age of 65 years, 2 months, and 25 days of age. This corresponds with what was told to me by my parents when I was growing up. I was born April 6, 1945 and I was told by my parents my Grand Dad died on Christmas Day in 1944 before I was born on April 6, 1945. Thank You.
