Moses Rees

Death caused from crushed by a log that rolled off of a wagon at his sawmill. The family plot was moved from Reesville to Sugar Grove, Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH when all the cemeteries in Clinton County were consolidated. Reesville was laid out by Moses Rees in 1857, but originally it was not called Reesville - it was called Cross Roads. The town plat consisted of twenty acres which were divided into twenty-five lots, lying along the Muskingum Valley Railroad. A post office was established soon after the railroad was completed and then businesses began opening to supply the residents with merchandise and services. There were dry goods stores, drug stores, saloons, churches and a school.
