A Tribute to The Memory of W. H. Reeves of Atlanta
The subject of this sketch was born in Alabama seventy-seven years ago. He
moved with his parents to Louisiana when an infant, and has lived in three
parishes, Natchitoches, Winn, and Grant. He was the father of twelve
children, four of them preceded him to the grave. Uncle Billy, as he was
known to his neighbors and friends, has been a staunch soldier of the cross
for sixty three years, having united with the M. E. Church at Atlanta when
only twenty four years old. He lived a quiet life. His home was his haven
and he was ever at his post of duty. While on his death bed with friends and
loved ones gathered around him, praying for the Father to heal him if it
could be. His will and if not, to lessen his suffering, his voice just
audible, coule be heard shouting, "Hallelujah." Family and friends what a
testimony! He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife and eight children, a host of
grandchildren, relatives, and friends. His children are Columbus Reeves of
Appleby, Texas; Lee, Ebben, and Wesley Reeves of Montgomery, La.; Mrs.
Please Blake of Dallas, Texas; Mrs. Jesse Terrell, Mrs. Ruby Ling, and Miss
Ella Reeves of Montgomery.
