He was born in Wales and came to the U.S. with his parents when about 18 months old, settling in the neighborhood north of Lucas. His wife was our (very distant) cousin Hazel Hatfield/Whiteside. Hazel was a daughter of Calvin and Tessie (Parsons) Hatfield, but was adopted by Harvey and Irene (Redlingshafer) Whiteside after Tessie died in childbirth. Reece and Hazel lived most of their married life on that farm east across the fields from Salem Church and Cemetery.Frank D.

There was a Reese Thomas from a place up on the Bluegrass road whose wife had polio later and my mom helped take care of her some while she was growing up.Still refer to the place as the Thomas place. The minister from Cornerstone church lives there now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281211058002230895noreply@blogger.com
