George Reeg Loses Life in Scioto On First Night of Work
Within a few hours after he had accepted a position last night as watchman, of the huge engine the N. & W. is using to put down piling at the Vera bridge just north of the city, George Reed, 1616 Grandview avenue fell off the barge on which the engine was moored and was drowned in the Scioto river. So crystal-like are the waters of the Scioto because of it’s extreme shallowness near the Eastern Bridge that Reeg’s lifeless and unscarred body was found shortly after the men engaged in doing the piling reported for work this morning.
Mr. Reeg’s coat and hat had been deposited on a board running across the west end of the barge, which was anchored near the pier that is being rebuilt and when the workmen arrived this morning they felt certain that Reeg had been drowned. A raft was hurriedly thrown together out of heavy timbers that were available and a search was begun for the missing man which was quickly ended by the find of Reeg’s corpse.
Could See Body In Clear Water.
The body was found swirling around in the water and within 20 feet of the spot where Mr. Reeg went down. His head was perhaps four feet from the surface of the water and his feet were within a foot of it. By the aid of a long pole to which had been attached an improvised hook make of a rod of iron Mr. Reeg’s body was towed to the barge and held there until Coroner Robe could be notified.
When workmen attempted to figure out a plausible theory as to how Reeg fell into the Scioto river they found his finger prints on the lower side of the barge. They were plainly visible and were grease-stained as Reeg was in charge of the big engine and was compelled to use oil. The finger prints showed clearly that the unfortunate man made a desperate but unsuccessful effort to save himself after he had stumbled, and fell into the river.
The theory was advanced that he was unable to pull himself up being unable to swim and that he fell back from sheer exhaustion and met death in the treacherous Scioto.
Verdict Was "Accident."
The body was not removed from the Scioto until Coroner Robe reviewed it and examined several witnesses. Convinced that Reeg met death by accidental drowning Coroner Robe notified the dead man’s relatives and returned to Portsmouth.
Just a short time ago Reeg gave up a position at the N. & W. Terminals, which he held for six years to take one on the west end of the Vera bridge, which is being rebuilt. Tuesday he was asked if he would take the night job of keeping up the fires under the boilers of the engine used to put down the piling and he accepted it at once.
Fate played a cruel trick on him as Reeg was drowned the first night at work. It is presumed that he went to his death between the hours of 3 o’clock and 6:30 this morning. At 3 o’clock Bud Yeager, operator in the Vera tower called to Reeg and he answered back that everything was alright. That was the last word heard from Reeg. Three hours later his lifeless body was hauled out of the Scioto.
Clell Hiles of Duck Run, Rush Township, had been in charge of the engine. He switched to the west end of the bridge Tuesday and his position was taken by Reeg.
Mr. Reeg Was Fine Citizen.
Mr. Reeg was 44 years old last October. Besides his wife, Mrs. Ella Jeffords Reeg he leaves one son Burgess, aged 15 and his aged parents, Nicholas and Catherine Reeg, who reside with their son. He also leaves one brother, Louis Reeg of Stockdale. A few years ago the Reeg boys and their father operated a steam laundry on Seventh street east of Chillicothe. Mr. Reeg was a splendid citizen in every way and the news of his tragic death will be learned with genuine regret. He left home at 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon in his usual good spirits. He was a little enthusiastic about his new job as he like to be around machinery, having a disposition that was compatible with mechanism. He asked his wife to hurry the supper along despite the intense heat as he was anxious to go to work. He left his home at 5:15 on what proved to be his farewell trip. Mr. Reeg was strictly a home man and did not seek fraternal honors. When not a work he was at home and was proud of his interesting family and his pretty little cottage on Grandview avenue. Mr. Reeg was a brother-in-law of Corney Jeffords.
Mr. Reeg was employed under Foreman Orville Shively, who gave him a splendid recommendation as a steady and reliable man. "That is why we wanted Mr. Reeg to take care of our engine" said Mr. Shively to a Times man, who visited the scene of the drowning Wednesday morning. "We knew he was faithful and would always be on the job."
The funeral services will probably be held Thursday, but no definite arrangements have been made. Mrs. Reeg has made a request that friends refrain from sending flowers.
