HUSBAND OF PENSACOLA GIRL DIES WITHOUT SEEING BABY
A year ago last April, a Pensacola girl, Miss Doris Andersen, was married to Lieut. Marshall Hudson Reese, of the U. W. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Four months ago, shortly after the young lieutenant as assigned to duty off the coast of Alaska, their baby boy was born. Lieutenant Reese was to come back to Pensacola Christmas to see his young son, for the first time and to take his family back to Seattle to live.

Sunday, has he made a routine check about the Aleutian Islands preparatory to starting for home, the small dory in which he worked overturned and was swept under by the current. His body did not reappear and yesterday his wife, visiting here at the home of her parents, 1101 Barcelona Street, was informed of his death. "They hadn't found his body and I know they never will," the young mother said last night.

But today, with her young son, named John Lang, she awaits further news from searching parties on the coast of far off Alaska.

MEETS DEATH IN ALASKA WATERS
Lieutenant M. H. Reese Drowns When Boat Upsets;
Body Not Found
BASKIN, La., Oct 14 - (Special) - His boat capsizing in the Bearing Sea, near Winslow Island in Alaska, Lieurenant Marshall H. Reese, a native of Franklin Paris, met death last week, according to word just received by Baskin relatives. Another man also lost his life. The bodies were not recovered. Lieutenant Reese was employed by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at the time of his death.

Lieutenent Reese completed studies at Baskin High School in 1923 and was graduated from Louisiana State University i 1928, receiving his degree in the Department of Civil Engineering. He was regarded as one of the most able of young officers. He took special interest in photo topographic compilation work and organized in 1934, in New York City, the first compilation party under the expanded program of the Coast and Geodetic Survey for the employment of idle engineers. It was largely through his thorough training of these engineers that the Bureau was able to continue its operations.

The Lieutenant was possessed of much ambition and did not confine his efforts to engineering, having completed in creditable manner a course in international law at the Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. He also took advantage of an opportunity to take a course with the Sperry Gyroscope Company in New York in the fundamental principles of the gyro, and its application to the Gyro Compass. The course is regarded specially valuable to a survey officer. Having gained a wide knowledge of aerial photography, he was anxious to return to regular ship work and at his request had been assigned to Alaska in the work of making a coastal survey.

Lieutenant Reese is survived by his wife:
Doris Virginia Andersen Reese
His son:
John Reese of Pensacola, Florida
His parents:
Hillard Hudson. Reese of Baskin
Claudie Coyle Reese of Baskin
Four sisters:
Miss Eva Reese of Chase
Miss Mollie Reese of Baskin
Miss Shellie Mae Reese of Monroe
Miss Bernice Reese of Monroe
Three brothers:
John Henry Reese of Kansas City
Frellson Reese of Baton Rouge
"Sonny Boy" Reese of Baskin
