Phoenix...89, of murphysboro, died 6-21-1998....was daughter of William Bates and Josephine Burke, m: John Reese first, after he died, she married Walter Phoenix. no dates were mentioned. while i have several John Rees/e's...none are/were married to a Ruth... also said she was formerly of Ava.... is survived by one nephew, Wiliam Inman, of Lovelock, Nevada. as nearly ALL the Rees/es in the Perry/Jackson/Randolph area are connected, i would sure appreciate help in locating this Johns family...anyone out there know of him? tanx for the help!
