Mrs. J. E. Reeves Dead
Mrs. Mary Evelyn Norman Reeves, age 73 years, wife of J. [acob] E. Reeves, who resides in the west suburbs, died at her home last Friday morning, January 9 [February 2nd], at 7:45 o'clock following a brief illness that resulted from a stroke of paralysis which she was stricken with Monday before her death. At first her stroke was thought to be only slight, and she seemed to be improving until Wednesday when erysipelas developed, and her condition continued to decline very rapidly until death.
The Reeves family came to West Plains a few years ago from Monticello, Ark., and since that time, the son, C. [harles] I. [rvin] Reeves, who resides at the family home, has conducted the Reeves peanut and popcorn stand on the north side of the square.
Mrs. Reeves was born in Park County, Indiana, Aug. 9, 1849. In 1882 she was married to Jacob E. Reeves. Four children were born to them, three of whom died in infancy.
She is survived by her husband and son here, a sister, Mrs. R. A. Jarvis, of Raton, N. Mex., and nephew, P. A. Blake of Bedford, Ia., and 7 nephews and 6 nieces and other relatives and friends. The sister could not come for the funeral but the nephew from Iowa was present.
The funeral, which was to have been held at the First Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, was held at the residence on account of the illness of Mr. Reeves. Rev. E. C. Wadlow of the First Methodist church and Rev. Sam Roper of the Presbyterian Church had charge of the services. Burial was at Oak Lawn cemetery.---West Plains, (Mo.), Herald.
