Mrs. Catherine Reinhardt, in whom the Ladies' Aid society of the Bethlehem Evangelical church have been interested so many years, died Friday at the age of 92 years.

Mrs. Reinhardt came to this city from Germany with her husband about 25 years ago, but the husband died soon after their arrival. She has no known relatives and for many years had been a charge of the aid society of Bethlehem church. That she is 92 years of age is established by records she leaves. She had lived for some time with Mrs. Fredericka Bernhardt, of Moseley street.

Richard Proctor died at his residence on Geddes Ave. Friday night at 11 o'clock. He was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1822, and came to Ann Arbor in 1845. In 1850 he returned to England and married Matilda Hood. He was a carpenter by trade and followed the business until failing health compelled him to retire, a few years ago. In 1871, his first wife having died, he married Mrs. M. Katz, the mother of the wife of George Miller, the shoe dealer. Mr. Proctor had four children by the first wife all of whom are dead. Three sisters survive him, one living in England, Mrs. Murray of Mason, Mich., and Mrs. Wanty, the mother of Judge Wanty, of Grand Rapids. Mr. Proctor was very kind to the mother of Judge Wanty when she was left a widow in Ann Arbor many years ago. Judge Wanty has always remembered his kind old uncle, and for many years has not forgotten to make him a liberal present in money on Christmas day.

Mr. Proctor was a person of fine character - industrious, generous and honest. His death will be greatly regretted by his neighbors and friends on Geddes avenue. His funeral was held at the house on Monday at two be held at the house on Monday at 2
