John T. REESE had lived in Baltimore and was returned there for burial in Mount Carmel. The obit from the Baltimore Sun is at the end. "T." is the correct middle initial!

The death of John T. Reese, who was one of the best known citizens of Butte, occurred yesterday at his residence in the canyon about one and a half miles east of the poor farm. Mr. Reese was 67 years of age and was for a long time the superintendent of the Parrot smelter. He leaves a wife and six children, five sons and one daughter, the latter being a resident of Utah, while the sons are all in this city. Deceased was a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, but had not officiated with either of the orders in this city. The remains are being embalmed by Richards the undertaker preparatory to being sent to Baltimore, Md., for interment.

Some years ago, Mr. Reese met with an accident on the Union Pacific road somewhere in the neighborhood of Cheyenne and it resulted in the amputation of his left arm. This was followed by one of the most bitterly contested damage suits ever waged in this section. It was brought in the United States court and it resulted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $25,000. This sum Judge Knowles considered excessive and gave Mr. Reese the option of accepting $15,000 or having the verdict set aside and proceeding with a new trial. The gentleman accepted the amount named by the court and the litigation ended.

All members are requested to meet at Good Templars' hall, West Broadway, at 2:30 p.m., Friday, August 12th to escort the remains of late brother J. L. (sic) Reese, to the depot to be shipped to Baltimore, Md.

All members of the Odd Fellows are requested to meet in Fidelity hall today at 2 o'clock to attend the funeral of our late brother, John F. (sic) Reese. By order of JNO. BEVAN, N. G.
