Oscar is still living and is about 89 years old. He would be able to tell you a few of the family members names. Many are buried in that area. I also have the names of the children of Oscar and Ethel Reeves. They are in their 50's and may be able to help more. If you think there might be a connection to this Reeves family let me know. I am quite sure that most all of these Reeves were related in that area. Thanks, Janice Sanders Callahan >> Janice, how close to St. Louis are you? I am in Florissant. My husband's grandmother is 95 and moved back here from Pangburn AR last fall. This DeLoach line is her mother's. If you are near enough, please call me 314-837-3299 Linda Nehring
