Reese, which occurred Monday afternoon of this week. Early Monday morning Mr. Reese went to his work at the Clements warehouse, where he remained until the noon hour. On his way home to dinner he went to the drug store to procure medicine for a headache from which he was suffering. When he reached the drug store he was in a state of collapse. 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 o’clock in the afternoon. His burial was conducted by the Masons at the Methodist cemetery at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. A great concourse of people attended his funeral. A more popular man than Emmett Reese never lived in Marion County. He was a good citizen, an ideal husband and father and a humble Christian. His wife and children are not the sole mourners. His death is mourned by thousands of friends in Marion County. The Marion County Patriot, No. 37 Friday, September 25, 1908 Page Six A Card of Thanks We want to thank our friends in Buena Vista and Marion County for their goodness and loving sympathy to us in our sad bereavement. 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.

I can not tell you how it feels to read this--- Of course I never knew Mr. Reese- I never knew OF HIM-until past years- He was the 1st cousin of my Great Grandfather William Nathaniel "Nat" Brown. Maybe 10 years ago- I viewed the grave of his parents Dr. Wm. J. Reese & Mary Elizabeth Brown- (He was there too-in the city cemetery, so I wrote the info down-though I knew not who he was-he knew he would be kin) and then maybe 5 years after that a family member at a family Reunion-had her Grandmother's two scapbooks-my great-grandmother- and pictures of same couple. But finding the children and something about them-was a bit harder..... This list has helped me make several of this family-and others (My McMichael's, my husband's Brown's etc.) into real human beings. Mary Elizabeth Brown's Grave proudly says who her Parents were- Wm. M. Brown & Amanda Gray---- And I am sure Emmett was just as proud of his--- Emmitt Brown Reese was born 1 Jan 1859=and you know when he died. Of the 12 children in his family- I know precious little- Emmitt Reese married Minnie McMichael-who is also my family- I don't know when-and they had several children-it says-but I don' t know WHO. (They fall in a census area we really don't have available in good form yet!) I know of one dtr. because Carla Miles takes the time to do all this-and I have FLESHED in other relatives with her many postings. (Thanks Carla) I found that twoof his brothers became Druggest in Thomasville William M. and Thadeus Berrion. I know-from this list-a brother went to Columbus-and I could put in a thimble-the rest of what I know! But after working over 20 years- YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING TO KNOW THEM- after something like this death notice. Boy if I could earn one of those before I die!

He was only 48 years old- I am sure this is one reason it was such a shock... ----- Original Message ----- From: "GAGenWeb Archives" <archives@poppet.org> To: <> Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 5:05 PM Subject: [GAMARION] Ga-Marion Co.
