He suffered a relapse late Saturday and died Sunday morning.
Riedel was one of the most popular men that ever claimed Newport as his home and the esteem with which he was held was attested in 1917 when he was elected city commissioner by the largest vote ever given a candidate. Riedel was born in Campbell co. 71 years ago and spent all his life here. When a young man he engaged in steamboat business and served as mate and captain on packets plying in all trades on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
