Reece A. Oliver
Reece A. OLIVER, 74, R.R. 2, Akron, once head of American guerrillas in the 
Philippine Islands during World War II, died at 1:15 a.m. Sunday at his home 
following a coronary attack. Although he had been ill five years, his death 
was unexpected.
Born Aug. 1, 1891 in Akron, he had spent his lifetime in Akron except for 34 
years in the Philippine Islands. He was the son of Marshall and Rebecca 
STICKLER OLIVER. He was married Aug. 19, 1934 in Davio City, Philippine 
Islands, to Flora CARBONELL, who survives.
A retired school teacher, he was superintendent of schools in several 
provinces in the Philippines. He was a member of the Akron Masonic Lodge 659. 
He was a retired major of the U. S. Army and during World War II he was chief 
of staff in command over the American Guerrillas.
Surviving with the wife are a daughter, Mrs. Renea (Rebecca) TORRES, New York 
City; three sons, Robert [OLIVER], Columbus; Cpl. James [OLIVER[, with the 
U.S. Air Force in California, and Winston [OLIVER], Akron; and four 
grandchildren. A sister and three brothers preceded in death.
Last rites will be at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Sheetz funeral home with the 
Rev. Claude FAWNS officiating. Burial will be in the Akron cemetery. Friends 
may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. Tuesday. Masonic services will be at
