BOTH NOW AT REST

Both Abram Dick and Jacob Riesen and Interred at the German Cemetery

Last night after the searching party at Claassen's mill dam had found the body of young Dick and had given it over to the undertaker, they continued the search until they found that of Riesen. The body was found very near the dam and so firmly imbedded in the sand that it was hard work dislodging it.

Finally it was gotten out of the sand and brought to the city.  Late last night at the German cemetery near Bethel college both bodies were laid to rest in the presence of friends and relatives.  The Newton Daily Republican, Newton, Kansas.  Thursday, July 1, 1897.  Page 4.
