THE DRESDEN ENTERPRISE May 30, 1947 Obituary Alvin Blaine REAVIS was born February 2, 1885, passed to the eternal home May 18, 1947, after much suffering of asthma. He obeyed the gospel in early life, under the preaching of A. O. COLLEY and remained a faithful Christian until death. He was teacher at Antoch Church of Christ, his home congregation, where he had been an evangelistic singer, in Tennessee and other states, having possessed a musical talent, and was never happier than when singing the Gospel songs. He loved to study the Bible as Paul instructed Timothy to show himself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. A few days before he passed away he recited most all of the fourth chapter of Second Timothy, placing emphasis on 6-8. He leaves to mourn his passing two brothers, Horace and Leland REAVIS, and two sisters, Mrs. M. V. WELCH, and Mrs. R. C. UNDERWOOD, several nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends. Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at West Union by Brethren E. H. SMITH, of Murray, and Edward HARPER, of Dresden, burial in nearby cemetery, with Bowlin & Riggs directing.
