Mariposa Gazette, June 7, 1913 Pioneer Passes Away. George Reeb, a pioneer resident of Hornitos and formerly one of its most progressive citizens, died in Stockton last Tuesday. Mr. Reeb located in Hornitos during the early ‘5O’s and from that time up to about five years ago conducted a butcher shop in That town. No man in that section of the county was better known or respected that Mr. Reeb, and all will regret to hear of his death. For several years he has been in feeble health and in order that he might receive the best of treatment was placed in a hospital in Stockton, where he passed peacefully away. To mourn his demise he leaves five daughters, Mrs. Kate Morrison and Mrs. Mary A. Collins of Hornitos, Mrs. Lizzie Thurber of Oakland, Mrs. Rose Morrison of Santa Ana, and Mrs. Lena Stanley of San Miguel and one son, George M. Reeb of Hornitos. The remains were brought to Hornitos and laid beside the love ones gone before him and were followed to the grave by a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends. He was a member of the I. 0. 0. F. and Masonic lodges and the funeral held under their auspices on Thursday at 2 p. m. He was a native of Germany and 82 years of age.
