JOHN RIES John M. REIS, veteran of the Civil War and for more than thirty years a member of the Police Department, died yesterday morning at the home, No. 370 Ames street, aged 76 years. He had been ill a long time and his death was not unexpected. He leaves his wife, Elizabeth KOUDOLF RIES; two sons, Henry J. and John F. RIES; three daughters, Mrs. John B. ZIMMERMAN, Mrs. F. H. MAXWELL and Miss Marie RIES; four grandchildren, and two sisters, Mrs. John SPITZ and Mrs. Joseph REGER. Mr. RIES was born in Rochester. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. John RIES, came to Rochester in 1836 from Alsace, then a part of France, and made their home at Jay and Child streets. That part of Rochester was known then as "Strassbourg" because of the Aisatiau element living there. It was there that John M. RIES was born, in the Civil War he went to the front with the Fifty-fourth Regiment and saw active service for some time. After his discharge from the army Mr. RIES returned to Rochester. He was a member of the famous Rochester Rod and Gun Club and was noted for his skill as a marksman. On February 17, 1875, Mr. RIES was appointed to the Rochester Police Department. He was in patrol the Hashapse street beat, which included the then notorious Murderers' row. He was able to cope with the uncertain elements that frequented his beat, and when he retired in 1905 his record was a most enviable one. Mr. RIES was attacked by rheumatism in his final years on the police force and was in the patrol-wagon service for a while before he was retired on a pension. He was a member of the Police Benevolent Association.
