Adam Reichert
Mr. Adam Reichert of Sand Spring, who was well known through northeastern Jones county, western Dubuque county and southern Delaware county, died at Chicago last Tuesday afternoon, the 14th ist., of pneumonia. His remains were brought home yesterday morning. Mr. Reichart has been ailing for months, being troubled with catarrh and asthma. He went to Chicago for treatment, last March, and had remained there continuously. Last Friday he became afflicted with plurisy which developed on Sunday, he was removed from his hotel to St. Bernard's hospital. His condition was considered serious, and his wife was at once summoned. She left for Chicago in company with E. W. Kohl of Monticello, Monday night, and reached her husband's bedside the next morning. He recognized her after her arrival, and remained conscious until a short time before he expired.

The funeral services were conducted at the church of Immaculate Conception at Sand Spring, last Friday by Rev. Father McCormick.

Mr. Reichart was born in Richland township, Jones county, October 13th 1850. His father, Simon Reichart, was one of the oldest settlers of Jones county. He came to this country from Bavaria, and settled at Dubuque in 1837. Two years thereafter, he removed to Richland township, and in 1840 moved onto the farm which he occupied until the time of his death. Mr. Reichart was married in 1874 to Mrs Anna Kurt. They were the parents of eleven children, five of whom are living. The survivors are Mrs. Peter Kurt of Moran, Kan., John Reichart and Leonard Reichart, who occupy the home farm; Mrs. Ed McBride of Sand Spring, and Mrs. L. P. Smith of Dyersville. All will be able to attend their father's funeral with the exception of Mrs. Smith, who has recently submitted to a surgical operation, and is now in a hospital at Dubuque.
Mr. Reichart soon after marriage took up his residence near the Jones county line, in Dubuque county, where he lived for ten years. He then moved upon the Hardesty farms in Delaware county near Sands Spring which he had purchased, and resided there for four years. Since then he has resided at the village of Sand Spring. Mr. Reichart was an extremely active business man. He was not only the owner and manager of several large farms, but he was as extensive dealer in livestock. His business gave him a wide and favorable acquaintanceship. He was well thought of, and enjoyed the confidence of the business community. He was a considerate husband and an indulgent father. He will long be missed, not only in the home circle, but by the many friends who appreciated his cheerful manners and his good natured salutations.
