John H. Reeve.
From Our Wawayanda Correspondent.
I received information a few days ago, from L?. A. Tooker that John H. Reeve, a former resident of Wawayanda, died at the city of Springfield, Missouri, on Saturday, July 20, aged about 80 years and was buried in the cemetery at that place.
Before going west Mr. Reeve was one of Wawayanda's most honored citizens. He was supervisor for ten successive terms and for many years held the office of justice of the peace. He represented the Second Orange district in the Assembly with credit and ability for two terms.
