Waterloo Republican February 27, 1907
Word was received here Monday morning that Mrs. Daniel Rey died at a hospital in 
St. Louis.  The death of Mrs. Rey was unusually sad and peculiar.  About ten days 
ago she was visiting with a friend in the Bottom and, so the report goes, had the 
misfortune to run a splinter under her finger nail.  Little was thought of the occurrence.  
In company with her husband she went to St. Louis for a few days visit.  Mr. Rey 
returned home leaving his wife in the city.  Sunday he was horrified to receive the 
news that his wife was dying in the hospital with tetanus.  The little, seemingly 
insignificant splinter had in the meantime done its deadly work.  At the time of writing 
this the funeral arrangements had not been made.  The sympathy of the entire community 
goes out to the sorrowing husband in his most sad bereavement.
