OBITUARY: Pocahontas Record-Democrat, Pocahontas, Iowa, Thursday, 16 Dec 1943, pg.1/10 Two Die In Fires During Past Week Joe Vainreb Dies In Flames of His Burning Home Suffocated When He Attempted to Enter Blazing Trailer Home Friday Night Joe Vainreb was burned fatally here Friday night when he attempted to enter his burning trailer home which was believed to have caught fire by an over-heated stove. Mr. Vainreb had gone up town after supper and when he returned smoke was pouring from his house, which is located just west of the Loots Implement Store. Neighbors discovered the blaze about the time Mr. Vainreb reached the house and saw him open the door apparently to enter and recover some personal belongings. As the flames burst out the doorway into his face he fell forward into the flaming interior. Verle Hudek, who lives across the street, turned in the fire alarm and rushed to the scene but due to the flames was unable to get near enough to pull Mr. Vainreb from the flames. Firemen, promptly answering the call, removed Mr. Vainreb's body from the doorway after they brought the blaze under control. Coroner F. E. Heathman, upon investigation of the tragedy, stated that the unfortunate man apparently died instantly from suffocation as he inhaled the smoke and flames which burst into his face as he opened the door. Funeral services for Vainreb were held from SS. Peter's and Paul's church Tuesday morning at 9:00 o'clock. Rev. Father Wm. P. Hyland, officiated at the requiem High Mass, and Father Kolvek of Lohrville read the service at the grave. The pallbearers were James Hronek, Verle Hudek, Chas. Schott, Chas. Albrecht, James A. Sinek and George Kopriva. Burial was in Calvary cemetery. Joseph Vainreb was born in Hungary Feb. 13, 1879 [sic] and came to the United States when he was 20 years of age.
