ANOTHER PIONEER LAID TO REST
 
Robert Stewart Reavis was born March 14, 1856, at Elems Sprinks, Ark., and 
lived there until April 1, 1878, when the family moved to Idaho, where they 
have since resided.  He departed this life at his home in Payette on First 
Avenue South, Monday, October 6, 1930, after having been failing in health for 
over a year.
 
He was married to Mary Ellen Pearce on September 22, 1876, to which union six 
children were born, all of whom are living.  Daisy I. Jewell of Payette; Emma 
Cool and Jessie Day of Portland, Ore.; Maud Cartwright of Payette; Anna 
Caldwell of Yakima, Wash.; and William Reavis of New Meadows, Idaho.  He also 
leaves to mourn his loss his devoted wife, Mary Reavis, and two sisters, Anna 
Applegate of Payette and Mrs. C. Ben Ross of Pocatello, Idaho, and a brother 
John J. Reavis of Portland, Ore. and twenty grandchildren and two great 
grandchildren and a host of friends.
 
He was one of Idaho's sturdy pioneers helping to develop the state and 
numerous people have been made happier by his generous and genial disposition 
and we softly say "rest old pioneer."
 
Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2:00 p. m., at the Baptist church in 
Midvale, Idaho and services were conducted by the Odd Fellows Lodge at the 
Midvale cemetery, he being a member of Ross Lodge No. 96, I. O. O. F.  All the 
children were present for the funeral including other relatives, pioneers and 
sorrowing friends.
