Oct. 17-In Newburgh, FRANCIS, wife of A. D. Reeve, aged 42 years.

The will of Charles Reeve of Newburgh states that Anthony D. Reeve was his brother and names Anthony's children. Since the New York 1855 census shows that Eunice Reeve (age 81) was the mother of Charles, this makes Anthony and Charles children of Joseph and Eunice Reeve.

Anthony's headstone states: "ANTHONY D. REEVE, died January 27th, 1877, aged 70 y'rs, 10 mo., 2 d's." He was buried in the Old Town cemetery in Newburgh.
