No source noted, penciled date of August 9, 1922, from an unidentified scrapbook of clippings titled COLLECTION OF LOCAL MONROE COUNTY OBITS donated to the Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. DEATH FOLLOWS TWINS' ARRIVAL Mrs. Reinbolt, Wife of Well-known Monon Shopman and Spanish-American War Veteran, Dies at Hospital An unusually sad death took place early this afternoon at the City Hospital when Mrs. William Reinbolt, wife of one of the striking shopmen at the Monon yards-died as the result of poisoning following the birth of twin daughters a week ago Saturday. Mrs. Reinbolt had been sick about three months and on July 29th at the hospital became the mother of two baby girls-Mary Elizabeth and Martha Louise. Complications set in and poisoning started, and last night a hemorrhage took place and all efforts this morning failed to avert death. The two babies are healthy infants and are doing nicely. The Reinbolt family lives in the Batman building on North Walnut Street. The father is a veteran of the Spanish-American War and has been employed at the yards until the strike came on. The Reinbolt family moved to Bloomington about two years ago from Illinois. Mr. Reinbolt is an expert machinist and has been in the Federal services twice, the first time during the Spanish-American War and the second time during the World War when he was employed at the Rock Island Arsenal. An autopsy is being held over the body of Mrs. Reinbolt to ascertain the exact cause of death. She was 48 years of age and her first children were the twins born at the hospital a week ago Saturday.
