Reinhart, the artist, who is now in England, on his way to Italy to avail himself of the aid of the "Masters of Arts". Mr. Reinhart is a native of Wayne county, and one of the best portrait and landscape painters of our state.

Dr. Reinhart received a telegram on Tuesday of last week announcing the death of his uncle, B.F. Reinhart, of New York City, and on Thursday went to McKay to attend the funeral of the deceased. Mr. Reinhart had achieved great success as an artist, and will be remembered by many of his old time friends of his boy-hood days in the southern part of this county. He left his home there at the age of eleven years and made his way to Baltimore in the pursuit of his life's study and in a few years became a successful portrait painter. He pursued his studies in New York, England, France and Italy, and painter many pictures of note, gaining a name of reputation ranking with those of the best artists A,Erica has produced. Among his best works are "Evangeline," Cleopatra Unveiled Before Caesar," " On Guard", "Running the Gauntlet," "Helen of the Walls of Troy". The subject of this little sketch was born in Green County, Pa., in 1829, and died in Philadelphia, May 3, 1885. His remains were, according to his request, brought to Ohio and interred in the little cemetery at McKay, this county. We are indebted to Dr. Reinhart for the above account.
