REES, pioneer of Rochester, died very suddenly Tuesday afternoon about 3:25 while at work in the assessors office at the court house. While his health had not been good since a heart attack several weeks ago, his death was very unexpected and came as a great shock to his family and friends. He was about 72 years of age and had long been a prominent democrat and was recognized as an authority on historical facts about Rochester and Fulton county. Mr. Rees had started deliberations Monday with the County Board of Review. This afternoon he went out for a drink of water. He returned to the room and suddenly collapsed on the floor. He died within fifteen minutes and physicians called to the scene pronounced life extinct. It was thought that the unusually hot weather brought on the attack as he had shown no signs of excitement or strain. Milton O. REES was born and reared in this city. He served as deputy county auditor here for a number of years, was a member of the fire department and was also town clerk and he later conducted a pop and ice cream factory on North Main street. He was always active in the ranks of the Democratic party and last spring was a Democratic candidate for nomination for mayor but withdrew when he suffered a heart attack. Due to the fact that Mr. Rees' death occurred just at the hour when the News-Sentinel was going to press only a few other particulars could be learned. Full details will be carried in Wednesday's issue. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Wednesday, June 3, 1925 (Just before press time it was announced that the funeral of M. O. REES would be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the house, 518 Pontiac street, Rev. D. S. PERRY in charge.) Arrangements for the funeral of the late Milton Oscar REES, aged 74 years, 5 months and 5 days, who died suddenly at the court house about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, were being made Wednesday. Burial will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Physicians called in pronounced the cause of death as angina pectoris, which frequently is accompanied by heart failure as in Mr. Rees' case. Mr. Rees had been ailing since Easter. Born in Pulaski county on December 28, 1850, the son of William and Louisa EVANS REES, the deceased had resided in Rochester for 55 years. He would have celebrated on June 27, had he lived, his golden wedding anniversary. The widow, Margaret REES who survives, was married to Mr. Rees in 1875 in this city. Mr. Rees was a former member of the Masonic Order and of the K. of P. He was deputy county clerk from 1882 to 1890, Fulton county clerk from 1890 to 1894, once a member of the town board, and town clerk, and was a nominee in the democratic ticket for mayor but withdrew. He operated an ice cream factory for several years. Among the survivors are four daughters, Misses Hermione [REES] and Mabel REES of Rochester, Miss Margaret I. REES of Chicago and Mrs. W. C. DeWITT of Ardmore, Oklahome; two sons, Charles C. [REES] of Evanston, Ill., and Myron L. [REES] of Ardmore, Oklahoma; a sister, Mrs. Martha BAIRD, now in California, and three grandsons, Stanley [DeWITT] and Garrett DeWITT of Ardmore, Okla., and Charles C. REES, Jr., of Evanston.
