He was a bright, promising child. Just nearing his fifth birthday. He was the hope and joy of his'parents, ^nd when he died their hearts were saddened and their home darkened. His friends and loved ones laid his body to rest in Stevens Creek ceme tery, Tuesday afternoon, August 3. Two days before Reeves' death the little baby, Sara Irene, took the dis ease and it was only a week before she joined her little brother in their Heavenly home.
