5 May 1898 - West Branch Times

Dorena Ann Reeves was born near Damascus Ohio 3rd month 17th 1826 and died 5th month 2nd, 1898, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. V. Mills of this place. The deceased was married to Thomas Reeves 8th month 20th 1846 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. They moved to Indiana in 1853 and removed to Gower township, Cedar Co, Iowa 42 years ago. Five daughters composed the family, three of whom survive. She was left a widow about 20 years ago. She was born a member of the Friends church, and that remained the church of her choice until death.

The funeral services were held at the 2nd street Friends church 5th month 4, at 10 o'clock where a large company of relatives and friends paid their respects to one that had long been a familiar figure among them. The sermon by Archibald Crosbie was strong, clear and appropriate. The interment was in the beautiful West Branch cemetery by the side of her husband and daughter.

She lived a quiet unassuming life and was respected by all who knew her. Her life was her best testimonial.
