“Rites Tonight for James Reavis, 80, Former Constable

Succumbing to a long illness, James Reavis, 80, former constable of Napa 
Township and a Napa resident for the past 70 years, died in a local hospital 
Sunday night.

Funeral services have been set for tonight at 7:30 o’clock from the Webber 
Funeral Parlors, with interment in the family plot in Maxwell, California.

Reavis came to Napa county as a child with his parents and made his home here 
in Congress Valley, later moving to Napa.  The Reavis home on Yajome street was 
sold following the death of his wife, Mrs. Frances Reavis.

The well-known Napan served two terms as constable, leaving office in 1938.  He 
was a prominent poultry fancier and won many prizes with his stock in state and 
county fairs.

Deceased is survived by one son, James Clark Reavis, of Berkeley, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Mary Hayward, of the Dales, Oregon, and Mrs. Fannie Hills, of 
Oakland.”
