REINHOLD LANG, one of the oldest and most respected German inhabitants of the city of Berlin, died quite unexpectedly at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning of a bladder infection, from which he had been suffering for about a week. A native of Waibstadt, Baden, he emigrated to America with his wife in 1847, arrived in Berlin after a short stay in the United States, and began here the tanning business, on a small scale, on the spot where the Canadian Block now stands. After several years, he founded the present large tannery, which he has managed in recent times, together with his eldest son. A large number of friends and acquaintances, who had, in part, come from great distances, followed his funeral procession Tuesday, to the church and the graveside.
