| Text | Wheaton lost one of her finest last Tuesday morning when the death angel called the spirit of Wm. S. Reasor to the great beyond. Wm. S. Reasor was born in Mississippi County, Missouri July 18, 1850 and died Jan. 16 1923. Early in life he moved to Mayfield, Kentucky where he was married to Elizabeth Youngblood in 1872. In 1873 he moved to Barry County and later moved over in Newton County to the farm just west of town where he lived until a few years ago when he moved to Wheaton. Elizabeth Youngblood Reasor died Jan. 11, 1818. On March 21, 1886 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Lester who survives him. He was converted and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of 14 and has been connected with the M. E. Church at Wheaton from the time it was organized until his death. He became ill December 27 and since that time gradually grew worse until Tuesday of this week when death came. His eldest daughter, Mrs. F. O. Moore of Oronogo, died August 24, 1922. The surviving relatives of his immediate family are his wife and five children as follows: A. D. Reasor, Red Apple, Wash.; C. ? Reasor, Wenatchee, Wash; Mrs. Georgia Hatcher, Monse, Wash.; F. W. Reasor, Wenatchee, Wash. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church in Wheaton Sunday afternoon at two o’clock and internment will be made in the Muncie Chapel cemetery. |
