Son of Frank and Susannah Reisch. In 1863, he was admitted into partnership of the Reisch Brewery in Springfield, IL, founded by his father Frank. In 1868 they built a mammoth structure in which Frank carried on the business after the death of his father in 1875.
From the time that he entered into partnership with his father, the business steadily increased and was one of the leading industries of the city. The brewery was finely fitted up with all the best machinery for carrying on the manufacture of beer. The capacity of the brewery was one hundred barrels a day, and gave employment to fifty-five men and to eight teams.
Mr. Reisch was a thorough business man who took a keen interest in everything calculated to promote the growth and development of Springfield. He was a strong man in financial circles, was a Director in the Illinois National Bank and a stockholder in the street railway system.

Reisch - At the family residence, No. 819 North Rutledge street, at 4 a.m., Friday, May 22, 1896, of throat trouble, Frank Reisch, aged 54 years.
Despite the fact that Mr. Reisch has been in very poor health for the past eight years and that his death has been looked for, its announcement was a great surprise to his large number of friends in Springfield.
Mr. Reisch was born in this county a few miles south of the city.
He was the son of Frank Reisch, who then owned the brewery which bore his name and which has since his death been owned by the Reisch Bros.
When quite a young man, Frank came to the city and was taken into partnership by his father in the brewery business. This was in the early part of the 60's, and Mr. Reisch remained a partner of his father until the latter died in 1878. Then the three sons took charge of the brewery and formed the partnership which exists to the present, and which Frank by the hand of death has been the first one to break. This partnership was Frank, George and Joseph Reisch.
Mr. Reisch has been instrumental in building up the brewery to its present high standard, and has alwaus taken a great interest in anything that would improve the plant.
Before the death of his father, Mr. Reisch was married to Miss Anna Hamman, who still survives him, together with a family of four children. They are Misses Tena, Susie and Mary Reisch, and Frank Reisch, Jr.
Mr. Reisch was also a member of Mozart lodge, A.O.U.W.
Besides his wife and children, he leaves to mourn his loss his aged mother, Mrs. Susan Reisch; and three brothers, George, Joseph and Leonard Reisch, all of Springfield; and two sisters, Mrs. Gus Ensenberger, of Bloomington, who arrived in Springfield yesterday afternoon, and who will remain until after the funeral; and Miss Susie Reisch, who is a Sister of Mercy in a hospital at Tiffin, O. The latter has been telegraphed to, but it is was not known yesterday whether she would arrive for the funeral or not.
Mr. Reisch has been in poor health for the past eight years, and has done everything that was possible for the benefit of his health. He has been able to be around all of the eight years, and during that time has traveled extensively. Three years ago, he went to Europe, and remained for two years traveling over Switzerland and many other countries. When he left the shores of this country, his friends were very anxious for his welfare, and many of them were sorely afraid that he would never return alive. Mr. Reisch has been home from his trip to Europe for a little over a year. A few months ago, he went to Arkansas for a hunting trip with a number of friends. While there, he contracted a terrible could, and this again brought back his old trouble with renewed force. He has never recovered from the cold contracted while on the hunting trip and finally succumbed yesterday morning. At the time of his death, he was surrounded by all the members of his family. When he went to sleep on Friday night, his family realized that he was in a dangerous condition, and accordingly remained at his bedside all of the night.
Mr. Reisch was a generous, wholesouled man, and was liked by all who knew him.
He was a member of the Catholic church and was a liberal giver for religious and benevolent purposes.
He was a democrat and was always ready to aid his party by his vote, his personal influence and by money contributions.
He had an eye to the prosperity of the city, and was, with his brothers, the owner of valuable business properties and residences. Some of the handsomest business buildings in the city have been put up by the Messrs. Reisch.
He was, during the days of the volunteer fire department here, its honored chief, which position he held with credit to himself and the department.
He was a member of Mozart lodge No. 106, A.O.U.W., the Germania Maennerchor and the Springfield Turnverein. He was also a heavy stockholder in the old Citizens' Street Railway company, of which he was vice president. He was also at the time of his death one of the directors of the Illinois National bank, and was last year elected president of the bank, succeeding DeWitt Smith, who resigned the position.
He was also a director of the German-American Savings and Loan association. Out of respect to their dead president, the Illinois National bank officials yesterday closed their doors and will not again open them until Monday morning. The flag at the brewery was also placed at half mast.
The funeral will occur at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow from the residence and at 2 p.m. from SS. Peter and Paul's church on North Fifth street, the Rev. Father Pennartz officiating, and will be private.
The remains will be tenderly laid to rest in a beautiful spot in Calvary cemetery.
It is the request of members of the family that no flowers be sent to the house.
