DAVID H. REINS OBITUARY — Veteran of the War of 1812 and a printer, died at age 88 in Morrisania, New York.
The text is an abstract of the obituary, not the newspaper's full prose; it is kept as submitted. No death date is stated — the notice appeared in the issue of 29 March 1862, so the death likely occurred in or shortly before March 1862, but no date is recorded in the structured fields. The same submission carries a full vital-records column from that issue, carrying 13 marriage notices and roughly 35 further one-line death notices for other individuals; those entries are not included in this record.
