Colorado Citizen, November 10, 1898 Oakland Newsy Notes

Mrs. Nancy Reese died very suddenly Nov. 9, at the residence of her son, Mr. K. W. Reese of Sempronius, Austin county. She had reached the advanced age of 85 years, and was a consistent member of the Methodist church. She leaves to mourn her death 11 children, 73 grandchildren and 62 greatgrandchildren. She moved to Texas from Alabama in 1850, and in 1865 moved to Colorado county, where she has since resided. She was on a visit to her son's family at the time of her death. Her remains were interred in the Bellville cemetery Nov. 10, at 2:30 o'clock. She was the mother of Mr. Sam H. Reese of Columbus and Mrs. J. M. Styers, sr., of this city, to whom our sincere condolence is extended.
