Shortly after WWI the Influenza virus struck the United States. One of it's victims was Reinhard Vos.
Known for his thriftieness, Reinhard scoffed when told that the doctor was comming to look at him. "He'll only charge $5.00 and won't tell me anything I don't already know".
And so he did and the next day Reinhard felt better. But three days later the virus over took him and he died at the age of 57 leaving behind his wife and 9 children.

REINHARD PETER VOS
Reinhard Vos, a prominent farmer and pioneer citizen, died at 9:30 o’clock Sunday morning at his home in Krain Township of pneumonia complications. He had been ill for about three weeks and even last week he was reported to be recovering. A private funeral was held from Sr. Mary’s Church at ten o’clock on Tuesday of this week.

Krekelberg of St. Cloud, Thomas Vos at home, Mrs. Herman Ehrlichmann and Elmer at home. A brother, Leonard Vos of Chaska was present at the funeral.
Deceased was born in Chaska, Minnesota, May 20, 1862 and came to Holdingford to engage in farming thirty-eight years ago. He owned and operated 120 acres, 2 ½ miles west of Holdingford, in Krain Township and during his life here was prominent in public affairs of the community. He enjoyed wide acquaintanceship, all of whom highly respected him for his sterling qualities. He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Albany Court and St. Joseph Society.
The community extends their sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in the great loss of a good husband and father.
