Samuel Reeve died Tuesday at his home, No. 239 West One-hundred-and-third-st. He was ninety-six years old. Mr. Reeve was born in Bedford, City, Va. His father, Nathaniel Reeve, was a Presbyterian minister, and lived in Mattituck, Long Island, where eight generations of the Reeve family are buried. One of the Reeves was a member of King James's Privy Council for the Colony of New York.
Samuel Reeve came to this city when he was fifteen years old, and lived here until his death. He was a lifelong Republican, and cast his first vote for John Quincy Adams for President. Mr. Reeve was a steady reader of The Tribune since 1848, and his files of the paper are intact from that date. Mr. Reeve was a tailor, with an establishment at Broadway and Spring-st., under the old St. Nicholas Hotel. He had been retired for some years. Two daughters survive him. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at his home, the Rev. Frederick Richards, of the Fourteenth Street Presbyterian Church, officiating. The burial will be at Glen Head, Long Island.
