Old Norval Reeves Passed Away Suddenly At Home of Daughter In New Market The death of Mr. Norval Reeves on Sunday morning, August 2, came as a surprise to most of the citizens of New Market. He had appeared in his usual health until only a few days before his death and could be seen in his wheel chair most everyday, either in the yard of his daughter's home or at the Rice Oil Co. station, and no one suspected that the end was so near. Death was caused from a combination of disorders. Mr. Reeves had been one of the prominent characters of New Market all his life. His early life was spent as a schoolteacher and he was considered one of the best in this part of the state. He became interested in politics and from then on he was either county or township committeeman for the Republican Party. He served as county recorder for four years. It was said of him that he knew how every man in his township would vote and the leaders of the party always came to him for accurate information on any political matter. During the latter part of his life, Mr. Reeves conducted an insurance business and always enjoyed a large share of that business. The following obituary was read at the funeral: Norval Reeves, who has been in failing health for some time, passed away at the home of his daughter in New Market, Iowa, at 4:20 a. m. Sunday, August 2, 1931, at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 25 days. He was the son of Harrison and Maria [Leonard] Reeves, one of a family of six children. Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death, leaving two sisters, Mrs. Ella Wilson of Trenton, Nebr., and Mrs. Anna Shore of New Market, Iowa. He was born in Brownville, Pa., June 7, 1852. In 1856 he moved to Illinois and in 1863 he came to Iowa, where he spent the remainder of his life in Page and Taylor counties. On January 28, 1875, he was united in marriage to Susannah [Arvilla] Pace, who left this life May 2, 1918. To this union two children were born, Arvilla Hartman and Walter [Scott] Reeves, both of New Market. He is also survived by five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. All will miss him greatly. He was a member of the Masonic and I. O. O. F. orders, a supporter of their departmental work and at all times worked for the best interests of the community where he spent so many years of his life. We shall miss him, but in faith we trust Him who doeth all things well. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church at New Market, Iowa August 4, 1931, conducted by Rev. E. B. Osborn and assisted by Rev. L. M. Kirby. The body was laid to rest in Memory cemetery. submitted by Julia Johnson #47176433 julia.johnson63.gmail.com
