Mrs Minna Resse
Widow of Judge W.B. Reese Dies at Sewanee
news has been received here from Sewanee announcing the dath of Mrs. Minna Rutledge Reese, widow of Judge William B. Reese, both former prominent residents of Nashville.

She was a representative of South Carolina's distinguished families, the Rutledge and Middleton connections, and was a typical exponent of the grace and refinement of a southern lady of the old school.
her body was taken to Nashville and interred in the old City Cemetery, where Judge Reese is buried. He was a distinguished jurist and lawyer and was a student and writer of note.
