MAXWELL REEB
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 30 June 1921]
The news of the sudden death of Maxwell D. Reeb., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Reev, on Tuesday afternoon, came as a shock to the whole village. Max, who was aged 16 years, 5 months and 18 days, was an exceptionally fine young man, and his sunny disposition and winning personality, made him a universal favorite. The accident which happened shortly after noon on Tuesday was caused by his coming in contact with a live wire, which he was disconnecting in Mr. Molser’s barn at Port Colborne. Every effort was made by Dr. McKenzie, who was called, to resuscitate him, but it was of no avail. He leaves, besides is sorrowing parents, one brother Osborne, and one sister, Mary, both at home. The funeral is being held today Thursday at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, the Rev. Mr. Toewe officiating.
A sad accident occurred on Tuesday morning which ended fatally, Maxwell Reeb, the 16 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Reeb of Humberstone being electrocuted while fixing some lights in the barn at the rear of E. Molser’s store. The remains were removed to G.O. Dart’s Undertaking Parlors, pending the coroner’s inquest.
