Death of Mrs. Thomas M. Reese 

Johanna Reese, wife of Thomas M. Reese, was found dead in her bed about 4 o'clock Thursday 
morning, March 20, at her home at Bethel about five miles West of Ebensburg in Blacklick Township.  
Mrs. Reese had been an invalid for the past 25 years and was subject to epileptic fits, one of which is 
thought to have caused her death.  The deceased was nearly 56 years old, the daughter of John and

where she died.  Mrs. Reese is survived by her husband and two sons – Lowry of Jeannette and 
Howard, at home.  The funeral was held at 10 o'clock Sunday morning with services at the house. 
Interment followed in the Bethel cemetery.

Mrs. Reese was an ardent church and Sabbath School worker until recently when her healthy failed.
