The Paducah Sun, Thursday January 20,1910

GENTLY DEATH LIFTS HER SOUL

LIFE OF MRS. ROBERT REEVES
GOES SOFTLY OUT

She Will Be Buried Tomorrow
Afternoon in Oak Grove

One of Paducah’s most prominent and devoted families was broken up by the 
angel of death when the life of Mrs. Annie Weil Reeves went out with the 
setting sun and her soul was claimed by her Maker at 7:05 o’clock yesterday 
evening.  Her death was not unexpected, as her condition during yesterday was 
extremely grave.  The end came peacefully.  Members of the family were grouped 
about her bedside.  Mrs. Reeves’ death came as a shock to social circles in 
the city, in which she was popular, and a gloom was cast over the city.

Her illness began several weeks ago and death was indirectly the result of 
heart trouble and complications that had confined her to her bed many days.  
She was unconscious at the last.

Her death brings a sweet womanly career to an untimely close.  Mrs. Reeves was 
the wife of President Robert L. Reeves, of the First National Bank, and had 
resided in Paducah since early childhood.  She was a motherly woman and a 
devoted wife.  Always looking out for the welfare of her immediate family, she 
was a typical home lover and a tender mother.  Her character was pure and 
sincerity was manifested throughout her life.

She was born at Mayfield and early in life she came to this city with her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Weil.  On November 21, 1888, she was married to 
Mr. Reeves in this city and they resided for many years at the present home, 
738 Jefferson street.

Surviving her are her husband and one child, Miss Azalee Reeves.  She also 
leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weil and two sisters, Mrs. Ruth Hart, wife of 
Mr. Edson Hart, and Mrs. Laura Weille.  All reside in the immediate 
neighborhood on Jefferson street.

The funeral has been set for 3 o’clock tomorrow afternoon at the residence, 
and the Rev. Grant T. Sullivan, pastor of the Broadway Methodist church will 
officiate.  Burial will be in Oak Grove cemetery.

The pallbearers will be as follows:  Honorary – Major J. H. Ashcraft, Dr. J. 
G. Brooks and Messrs. I. D. Wilcox, T. A. Baker, G. W. Robertson and D. A. 
Yeiser; active – Messrs. J. D. Macquot, Frank Rieke, Sam I. Levy, Louis Rieke, 
Sr., George Langstaff and W. B. Mills.
