Death of M. H. Reeves.
The sudden death of M. H. Reeves which occurred about 5 o’clock Saturday evening, was a great shock to the community. On Thursday Mr. Reeves was on the street. Not feeling well, he went into a drug store and bought some bromo-quinine, thinking he had another touch of the grip from which he had recovered five or six days previously. About five o’clock that evening he was taken with a severe chill and Dr. Wolcott was summoned in haste. There was another hard chill Friday morning, respiration increased to 40, and only at brief intervals did the patient rally from the comatose state into which he sunk at the start. The gravest fears were felt by the physician from the beginning and on Saturday morning Dr. Wolcott asked for a consultation which was held, all agreeing upon diagnosis of meningitis.
Mr. Reeves was one of the early settlers of Chandler and a man of considerable property. He was one of the heaviest sufferers from the cyclone, his daughter, Maggie, and little son Chandler, being among those who lost their lives from burns received when their house was blown away that tragic day in March seven years ago. In many ways he had seen a great deal of trouble, but had come through it bravely and now in the midst of a happy home with loving little ones about him he is suddenly stricken down.
The circumstances are most distressing. Mrs. Reeves had already been confined to her bed for several days with the grip when her husband was taken sick, and is not yet able to leave it.
Funeral services were conducted from the home at 2:30 Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Masons. A brief sermon was preached by Rev. Cravens who spoke sweet words of comfort to the sorrowing ones. The attendance was very large and the floral offerings most beautiful. By the loving hands of brother Masons all that was mortal of the departed was laid to rest in beautiful Oak Park beside many of his loved ones who had gone before.
Beside the wife and three little ones are a little step daughter, a son, Harry, and daughter, Mrs. F. L. McCall, to mourn the departure of a loving protector. – Daily Publicist.
