William H.Reeves, a successful farmer of Ohio Township, Mississippi Co., Mo., was born in Ballard County, Ky., on October 28, 1844. He is a son of Curtis and Eliza (Bryant) Reeves, both of whom were natives of Kentucky. The family were originally from Virginia, but immigrated to Kentucky at an early day. Curtis Reeves was a farmer by vocation, and removed to Mississippi County, Mo., about 1844 and owing to the overflow of that year, became disgusted with the country and returned to his native State. He died in Wayne County, Mo. in 1845. His widow is still living. They were the parents of two children: Benjamin F. (deceased) and William H. The latter removed to Mississippi County with his mother in 1850, and located at Bird's Point, where they resided for several years. He is a farmer by vocation, and has been a resident of Mississippi County most of his life. He is a member of the I.O.O.F.
