George was a son of R.B. Reeves and a stepson of Nancy Hall Reeves. He died at an early age in the Clear Creek, Gladeville area of Wise Co., VA. He was working as a fireman on a log train when he was crushed between an engine and a car.


Accidentally Killed In Virginia

Mr. R.B. Reeves, who lives near Ozark, this county, received a telegram last Friday forenoon, from Norton, Va., stating that his son, a young man about twenty-one years old, was killed that morning by a log train. His body arrived here Saturday for interment. There were no particulars. The young man, who was very industrious, had been working in Virginia for some time. His death was a terrible stroke to his parents, and everybody is in sympathy with the stricken family. The burial was near Ozark, many friends attending. The father of the deceased removed from Virginia to Adair county eight years ago, and he is a highly respected citizen.
