Dr. Weaver who was there came to his assistance and having procured a carriage accompanied him home. Mr. Reese was unconscious when he reached his home and never rallied. He died about two oclock in the afternoon. His burial was conducted by the Masons at the Methodist cemetery at 4 oclock Tuesday afternoon. A great concourse of people attended his funeral.

Mrs. E.B. Reese and Family The Marion County Patriot, No. 37 Friday, September 25, 1908 Page Six In Memory On Tuesday of last week the sad news reached us of the death of our friend, Mr. E.B. Reese. It came as a shock, not only to us, but to the whole community. We could hardly realize it, as but a short while since he was in our midst, apparently well and in the highest of spirits. This is something we know but little about. The day nor the hour is not known when we are to be called from this world to the great beyond. We feel that one of our best friends has gone. A good Christian, a man possessed of business qualifications and a friends to everyone. As a citizen he will be missed in the community, in the county and in the state by all who knew him. He enjoyed this lovely land and its liberty and was ever ready to help humanity. We feel his loss but give him up hoping to meet him again in the land of the blest. We offer sincere sympathy to the bereaved family in their affliction.
