Trove Tuesday: The Demise of Robert Joseph Riebe

Robert Joseph Riebe, my second great-grandfather, was born in Germany in 1881. I've written about him previously, and said then that there was so much more to the Riebe story. This post does not really cover any more, other than to curate some of the newspaper coverage and notices in the Newcastle Herald about his accidental death in 1949.
