At Eighty-Six
End Comes To Mrs. Reese At Home Of Grand-Son
Returned to Former Home Last Fall After Spending Number of Years in Texas
Mrs. Zerilda Reese, a highly respectable old lady, died Monday night at the home of her grand son, Mr. Robert Cayce, four miles west of Cadiz. Some heart affection and the weight of years caused her demise. Mrs. Reese was born in 1832, and if she had lived until the 22nd of next May would have been eighty-six years of age. For many years she resided with her children at the old Reese home five miles south of Cadiz, her husband having died more than forty years ago. After her children all grew up and left the family hearthstone she broke up housekeeping and fourteen years ago went to Texas, where she remained until last fall with relatives. She was the mother of several children, but an only daughter, Mrs. W. F. Dew, of near Canton, survives her. Ms. W. H. Newton, of the southern part of the county and Mrs. Wade, of the eastern part of the county, are her grand-daughters. Mrs. Reese was a very intelligent lady, with splendid education, and was a very interesting person in conversation. She was good and kind loving neighbor, and enjoyed the love of hosts of people with who she had associated and near whom she had lived for many years. She was a member of Oak Grove Baptist Church and had been for many years. The burial took place Tuesday afternoon at three o’clock at the Lawrence graveyard for miles west of Cadiz, many friends and loved ones being present to pay a tribute of respect to a good woman.

Another Soldier
Boy Gives His Life In The Country’s Service
Oscar Lawrence Died In Illinois Training Camp Last Saturday Night

To Be Buried At Home

Oscar Lawrence, another of Trigg county’s soldier boys and son of Mr. And Mrs. E. C. Lawrence, who live three miles west of Cadiz, died last Saturday night at ten o’clock at the Great Lakes, Illinois naval training camp of spinal meningitis.

He enlisted in the navy in the fall and went into training at Great Lakes. A card from him to his mother written on Tuesday of last week and received Friday stated that he was well and getting along nicely. Friday afternoon a telegram came to his father announcing his serious illness. Another wire received Saturday morning announced that his condition was hopeless, and the sad message of death was received at twelve o’clock Saturday night.

Young Lawrence was born in this county, where he had lived until two years ago, when he went West and since that time he had lived in Nebraska, Minnesota, and other Western states. Last summer he was at home on a visit, and a short while after returning to the West enlisted in his country’s service.

He was twenty-one years of age last September. He was a splendid young man, had hosts of friends, and his untimely death has brought sorrow to many, and the adoring father and mother are heart broken over his sudden taking away.

Besides the father and mother he is survived by one brother, Donnie Lawrence, who is a soldier and stationed at Camp Shelby, Miss, and one sister, Mrs. Eura Thomas, who lives five miles south of town.

The body was prepared for burial at Great Lakes, and a wife received by his father stated that the remains left there at five o’clock on the afternoon of the 28th. When The Record went to press yesterday afternoon the body had not arrived, but was looked for last night. The remains will be taken to the family home west of town, and the burial will follow at the Lawrence grave yard four miles west of town.

Lonnie Lawrence, the brother reached her at noon yesterday from Camp Shelby to attend the funeral and burial.
