Emmett Reese Is Dead

Like a thunder clap from a clear sky came the news of the death of Mr. E.B. 
Reese, which occurred Monday afternoon of this week.

Early Monday morning Mr. Reese went to his work at the Clements warehouse, 
where he remained until the noon hour.  On his way home to dinner he went to 
the drug store to procure medicine for a headache from which he was suffering.  
When he reached the drug store he was in a state of collapse.  Dr. Weaver who 
was there came to his assistance and having procured a carriage accompanied him 
home.

Mr. Reese was unconscious when he reached his home and never rallied.  He died 
about two o’clock in the afternoon.

His burial was conducted by the Masons at the Methodist cemetery at 4 o’clock 
Tuesday afternoon.  A great concourse of people attended his funeral.

A more popular man than Emmett Reese never lived in Marion County.  He was a 
good citizen, an ideal husband and father and a humble Christian.  His wife and 
children are not the sole mourners.  His death is mourned by thousands of 
friends in Marion County.

In Memory

On Tuesday of last week the sad news reached us of the death of our friend, Mr. 
E.B. Reese.  It came as a shock, not only to us, but to the whole community.  
We could hardly realize it, as but a short while since he was in our midst, 
apparently well and in the highest of spirits.  This is something we know but 
little about.  The day nor the hour is not known when we are to be called from 
this world to the great “beyond.”  We feel that one of our best friends has 
gone.  A good Christian, a man possessed of business qualifications and a 
friends to everyone.

As a citizen he will be missed in the community, in the county and in the state 
by all who knew him.  He enjoyed this lovely land and its liberty and was ever 
ready to help humanity.  We feel his loss but give him up hoping to meet him 
again in the land of the blest.  We offer sincere sympathy to the bereaved 
family in their affliction.

John Parker
