From the Fort Worth Morning Star-Telegram, Saturday, Dec. 31, 1949; p. 2:
"Charles Augustus Reichenstein, 62, cigar store operator and former football referee, died of a heart attack about 11 p.m. Friday at his home, 2017 Pembroke Dr.
"Reichenstein became ill Friday afternoon while at his cigar stand in the Livestock Exchange Building. He was ordered to bed by his physician, but his condition was not thought serious until the fatal attack.
"For many years Reichenstein operated the Worth Segar Store at 801 Main, ticket sales headquarters for sports events and circus performances.
"Before moving to 801 Main, the store was located at 10th and Main, and was Fort Worth's unofficial headquarters for the sports fraternity. He closed his downtown business in 1938.
"Before the days of night football, Reichenstein officiated at most of the important high school games played in Fort Worth during the 1920s.
"He was a native of Dallas and had made his home in Fort Worth for 35 years.
"Survivors are his wife, two sons, Jack and Charles Reichenstein, and a daughter, Miss Jean Reichenstein, all of Fort Worth; two brothers, J. M. and Adolph Reichenstein, both of Dallas, and a granddaughter, Juliana Reichenstein, Fort Worth."
