NILES, Mich., Dec. 8.--The body of Edgar M. Reading, Niles student at Union Theological seminary in Hew York, was brought to Niles, and taken to the home his mother, Mrs. E.M. Reading seven miles north of Niles. The funeral services will probably be held on Tuesday. Mr. Reading who was studying for the ministry, and who had been active in local church work, and especially as a worker with boys, took poison while despondent over ill-health, it is stated. He left a note for his mother, which she has not yet received. He was 25 years old, a graduate of University of Chicago, and was completing his work at Union seminary after a summer spent at home. His father, Dr. E. M. Reading, a Chicago physician for many years, died last year.
