From Der Nord Westen, 16 Apr. 1903:
Ruben Matek, 16-yr. old son of Mrs. B. Matek here, died yesterday after a long illness. The youth was born here 15 Aug. 1887 but suffered a crippling fall when he was 5 yrs. old from which he never recovered. A month ago he contracted consumption which claimed his life. In addition to his widowed mother he is survived by a brother and a sister. His funeral will take place tomorrow.
Cem record: [Rueben Matek, bur. 04-15-1903, age 16 yrs. Cause: tuberculosis]
[Note from cem. office: I think the years are wrong on his marker. I found this birth record: "Ruben Matek, b: 15 Aug 1886, Reel: 0117, Record: 002125" from the microfiche birth records]
