Reinking Funeral Held in Spokane

Funeral services for Dr. E. D. Reinking, age 45, Reardan Physician and leader in the community were held Thursday at 1 p.m. at the Smith Funeral home in Spokane. The Rev. A. R. M. Kettner of Tacoma, formerly of Reardan, officiated. More than 1000 persons attended, and the funeral is said to have been the largest ever held at the Smith parlors. So large was the crowd that part of them were seated in the basement and loud speakers were used so that they might hear the services.

Interment was in the Reardan cemetery, where Dr. Reinking had requested he be laid to rest. Pall bearers were B. W. Hughes, Lyle Beavers, George Schultz, John Nordmark. Ally Lattarh, and Roscoe Reid. He had remarked that every man in Reardan would be his honorary pall bearers.

Dr. Reinking was born at Rising Sun, Iowa, November 2, 1893. He served in the medical corps in the army, and after his discharge, came to Medical Lake in 1930 to practice medicine. He lived there until August 1931 when he moved to Reardan. On June 5, 1929, he was married to Miss Hilda LaYvonne Lenta.

On his arrival in this county he immediately became one of the most popular and active residents of this community. He had a large practice in Reardan and Davenport and it is said often that he never refused to answer a call, whether the patient was rich or poor, and no matter how inclement the weather, and how long the journey. His fatal illness was due largely to overwork, as he had not been in the best of health for several years. He passed away in Spokane, September 5.

He was a member of the Troy, Mont., Masonic Lodge, Oriental Constabulary in El Katif Temple of the Shrine of Spokane, The Eastern Star and the Odd Fellows Lodges at Reardan.

His survivors are his widow, Mrs. Hilda Reinking, at Reardan, his father Ernest Reinking and one brother, Floyd Reinking, in Seattle.
