REUBEN BREINER CALLED BY DEATH
Aged Resident of Decatur Dies Sunday Night After Extended Illness
Reuben Breiner, 81, of this city, died at his home on East Monroe street at 10:45
o'clock Sunday night, following an illness of some time. Mr. Briener's death was
due to a complication of diseases and infirmities.
Reuben Breiner was born in Schulkill (sic) County, Pennsylvania, December 20, 1845. He
was a son of John and Selma Breiner. Mr. Breiner came to Indiana from Pennsylvania in
1856. For many years, he resided west of this city near Craigville, but the last 20 years
he has spent in this city.
In early life, Mr. Breiner was united in marriage to Susanna Hower, who preceded him in
death. Surviving are the following children: Mrs. Elgin King of Van Wert, Ohio; Mrs.
Leonard Case of Huntington; Mrs. Solon Farrer and Irvin Breiner, of Decatur.
Two grandchildren, two nieces and a brother, William, also survive as do many distant
relatives and friends. Mr. Breiner was a faithful member of the Zion Reformed church of
this city and until his recent illness he was a regular attendant of the church services.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home on Monroe
street and at 2:30 o'clock at the Zion Reformed Church in this city. The Rev. A. R.
Fiedderjohann will have charge of the services.
