His fate is found recorded as such in the Daily Democrat Huntington, Indiana dated 16 Feb. 1895 pg. 3 Col. 5 as follows:

NO HOPE – for Charles Reichard, Even if an Amputation is Performed - -

Freinstein’s case More Hopeful. - - But in Either Case Amputation will be Necessary and Will Leave the Victim’s Crippled for Life - - On Thursday, Feb 7th, 1895 Charles Reichard and Jake Freinstein, the former a cigar manufacture and the latter a cigarmaker in his employ, secured a rig from S. F. Day’s livery stable and started out for a pleasure drive that resulted in their being found that night near the flax mill, in a badly frozen condition.

The night was the coldest one of the year, the thermometer registering 13 degrees below zero, and the wind blowing a gale and was very penetrating. The unfortunate men were taken to the home of Reichard, who resides above Foster’s Saloon, on Washington street, and Drs. W. C. Chafee and B. H. B. Grayston summoned, who did everything possible to relieve their pain.

They were so badly frozen that fears were entertained that amputation would be necessary, but the doctors have from day to day been waiting for the lines of demarcation to become defined, thereby giving the men every possible chance that was in their favor.

At first it was thought Freinstein was in the worst condition, but as time sped on his case became more hopeful, until now the lines of demarcation have set in clearly and it will be necessary to amputate his fingers to the palm on each hand and the thumbs to the second joint, while his feet, of which there were grave doubts at first, he will have spared him.  He was moved from Reichard’s residence to the home of his mother on Oak street. He is rational and takes the idea of amputation as a matter of course, but requests that the doctors spare him enough “stubs” so he can hold a fish pole.

In REICHARD’S CASE  the chances are all against him with little hope or recovery. He is in a pitiable condition and the lines of demarcation, as they have set in show that he will loose fingers and thumbs on both hands and both his feet near the ankles.

HIS CONDITION is such that the doctors have fears as to whether he will survive the operation. He is very restless and delirious, it being necessary to administer liquor to him, otherwise he would collapse.

LEFT TO HIS FAMILY The Doctors held a consultation this morning and called the members of the family, his wife, mother, and brothers, and presented the case to them clearly, telling them what would be his chances of recovery in case of amputation and what condition it would leave him in for life.

The matter rests with his family whether the doctors shall perform the operation or not. In case the decided against it the doctors will then perform the amputation on Freinstein, this afternoon, who has a fair prospect of recovery.

And also the Daily Democrat Huntington, Indiana dated 18 Feb. 1895 pg. 2 col 5 as follows:

ENDED IN DEATH - - Charles Reichard, After Intense Suffering, Succumbs to the Inevitable, Saturday Night - - The suffering of Charles Reichard one of the men so terribly frozen while out sleigh riding ten days ago, ended in death, Saturday night. At about 7 o’clock

The unfortunate victim never regained consciousness from the time he was picked up along side the road and taken to his home in the second story of the Boos Building, on East Washington street. Charles Reichard was born in Cleveland, Ohio, March 25, 1854, and was 40 years, 10 months and 22 days old at the time of his death. He was the second son of Mr. And Mrs. John Peter Reichard, who moved to this city thirty years ago. The deceased has been a resident of this city ever since, with the exception of two years, when he was located in Tiffin, Ohio., He was married to Miss Louisa Ruh, at Fostoria, Ohio, eighteen years ago, and the fruits of their union is a daughter Miss Minnie, now nearly sixteen years of age. The deceased was a cigarmaker by trade and has been engaged in the manufacture of cigars for a number of years.

Besides a wife and daughter the deceased leaves a mother, Mrs. M. Reichard, one sister and three brothers, Mrs. Harry Scheerer, of Sydney, Ohio, and Ferd, Henry and Preston Reichard of this city, to mourn his untimely death. The remains were conveyed to the home of the deceased’s mother, on Cherry Street, this morning, from which place the funeral occurred this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock.
