JOSEPH REICKARD
JOS. REICKARD OF AMIGARI
FOUND DEAD
[Welland Tribune, 3 January 1908]
Joseph Reickard, a resident of Amigari, was found dead on the commons east of the village at a distance of about an eighth of a mile and within sight of his home, on New Year’s morning. Solomon Barnhardt was on his way to Fort Erie when he discovered the body and immediately notified the Fort Erie police. Reickard was 70 years old and lived with a son Frank, who is employed as car-repairer on the Grand Trunk. He left his home for Buffalo on Tuesday morning, and had expressed his intention of visiting friends at La Salle, N.Y, on New Year’s day. He evidently changed his mind and returned to Fort Erie only to perish on his way home. His death is supposed to have been due to exhaustion, coupled with exposure and old age.
