Watson Reeder Taken By Death

Died Saturday After Operation While On Visit To Son In Illinois

Watson S. Reeder, 74, a former Sebewa resident, died Saturday at Evanston, 
Ill., after an operation following a sudden illness.  The body was brought to 
Lansing where funeral services were held Monday with Rev. W. E. Doty, of 
Portland, officiating.  Burial was made in Danby cemetery.

Mr. Reeder was born in Baltimore and came to Sebewa with his father when 14 
years of age.  When a young man he was united in marriage to Mary Sayer, of 
Roxand, who died three years ago.  After their marriage the couple started 
housekeeping on the Charlie Hier? farm near Sebewa creek, later moving to 
Sunfield township where they resided for a time when they located in Lansing.  
Some time after his wife’s death Mr. Reeder was again married, his second wife, 
one son, Earl J. Reeder, of Evanston, Ill., three brothers, Ellery, of 
Woodbury; Oscar, of Brooksville, Fla., and Selleck, of Lansing, and one sister, 
Mrs. Eliza Ray, of Blanchard, survives.  Miss Nola Reeder, of Danby, is an 
aunt, and Mrs. O. O. Barton, of Portland, a cousin.

For a number of years, Mr. Reeder had been living at Brooksville, Fla., and 
came to Michigan recently to attend the Reeder family reunion held Sunday at 
Alton park.  Last week he went to Evanston to visit his son and it was while 
there that his death occurred.
