John Harley Reeves, 59, died early Friday in the Pawnee hospital, where he had been under treatment for the past two weeks. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Glencoe Baptist church, Reverend Hitt of Pawnee officiating. A quartet composed of Mrs. Frank Stephens, Mrs. Frank Jones, Roy Cummins and Mr. Scott, sang, "Does Jesus Care," "Will the Circle be Unbroken," and "Jesus the Best of All," with Miss Elva Sawyer at the piano. Floral offerings were beautiful and very appropriate tokens of the beautiful, Christian life of the deceased. Mr. Reeves was a good Christian man and faithful worker in church and Sunday school. He had been a member of the Glencoe Baptist church since 1904 and until his recent illness he was teacher of the Bible class in the Floral Valley Sunday school. He will be missed by a large circle of friends and relatives.
Survivors besides the widow are: Mrs. Daisy Bechtel, Mrs. Dorothy Tannehill, Jerome Reeves and Orville Reeves, all of Great Bend, Kans., Maxine and Wanda Lee Reeves of the home. His aged mother, Mrs. H.C. Reeves, three brothers, J.D. of Morrison, Albert and Lincoln of California, two sisters, Mrs. Mary Turner of Texas and Mrs. Ida Cross of Guthrie. Also two granddaughters, Theda Ruth Bechtel and Baby Tannehill.
The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Glencoe. Interment was in the Union cemetery north of town.
