Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Reeves of the home; two sons, Archie Reeves of Mt.

[Note: The birthdate on the gravestone is apparently wrong. The World War I draft registration shows he was born, March 10, 1877. The 1900 census shows that he is 23 years old, and his birth is listed as March 1877 which agrees with the age in the obituary.]
