LeRoy Reeves had reference number 10928. He held the title Col. U. S. Army; retired as a Colonel in 1940.¹ He was an Attorney (1900 - 1920); attorney and served in the US Army as judge advocate of the First Division at Fort Bliss, Texas; assistant judge advocate in the War Depatment in Washington, District of Columbia; in the foreign service in Honolulu, Hawaii.^10,2 He was educated Graduate of Science Hill High School, Johnson City, Washington Co., Tennessee (Class of 1894.)^11,12 He resided in Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee (1909); Hawaii (1929); Washington County, District of Columbia (1935.)^13,6,14 He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1880, 1900 - 1920); Honolulu County, Hawaii Territory (1930); Dade County, Florida (1940.) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:

Born in Johnson City, Tennessee, in June 1876, LeRoy Reeves was the son of Elbert Clay Reeves (1841-1929) and his wife Alice Dulcina Robeson (1851-1909). A graduate of Johnson City High School, Reeves studied French, German, Latin, logic and mathematics at Johnson City College and Normal Institute. From 1896-1898 he was a teacher in the Johnson City public schools. Admitted to the bar in 1899, Reeves practiced law in Johnson City with his father until 1905.
In June 1903 he organized Company F, Third Infantry, Tennessee National Guard, and was elected and commissioned the first captain of the company. Reeves resigned in June 1906 after commanding Company F during service in Virginia and at Tracy City, Tennessee. He subsequently was appointed major judge advocate of the Tennessee National Guard and served in the Mexican border campaign in 1916. After being discharged from the Tennessee National guard in 1918, he entered the Officers Training School at Camp McClellan, Alabama, where he was commissioned major in the United States Army in 1919.
After World War I he was assigned to duty in the Office of the Judge Advocate General in Washington, and in 1920 he was commissioned major in the Judge Advocate General's department. Before retirement in 1940, he advanced to the rank of colonel.
While practicing law in Johnson City and serving in the Tennessee National Guard, Reeves designed a state flag for Tennessee. The flag was adopted as the official flag of the State of Tennessee by an act of the Tennessee General Assembly passed and approved April 17, 1905.
In 1951 Colonel Reeves published Ancestral Sketches, a genealogy of his ancestors. He died in Washington, D.C., on May 25, 1960 and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Johnson City, Tennessee.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Colonel Reeves Ranks With City's Great
Col. Leroy Reeves, who died Wednesday in Washington, will rank in history as one of Johnson City's distinguished sons.
Two remarkable achievements set him apart: (1) He designed the Tennessee State Flag. (2) He organized Company F, Tennessee National Guard.
But old friends, who gathered for the funeral yesterday, remembered the man more than his achievements. They spoke of his unfailingly correct military posture, his flair as a practicing attorney, his courtly conversation, his grand manners.
"He was a Chesterfieldian gentleman," said a lady who knew him from his youth.
Colonel Reeves had been living in the Army and Navy Club in Washington since his retirement in 1940. However, he made occasional visits to Johnson City to renew old friendships. He also kept an eye out for significant military or political developments, often mailing clippings to the Press-Chronicle.
It was in June, 1903, that Colonel Reeves organized Company F, Third Infantry of Tennessee, National Guard, serving as its first captain. And it was in 1905 that he drew up a legislative bill providing that a flag of his design be made the official flag of Tennessee. Judge Walter W. Faw, a Johnson City native who at the time was living in Franklin, Tenn., piloted the bill through the Legislature.
The flag, with its familiar three white stars, was first put into service, appropriately, by Company F of the Guard. And, again appropriately, the first building over which it was flown was the East Tennessee State Normal School, now East Tennessee State College.
It was not until 1909 that the Legislature appropriated funds for purchase of flags to fly over the Capitol in Nashville.
Colonel Reeves attended Johnson City public schools, and in early manhood practiced law with his father.
He served as major and judge advocate of the Tennessee National Guard before going into service on the Mexican border as acting brigade adjutant and assistant division adjutant. In 1918 he entered the Third Officers Training School at Camp McClellan, Ala., receiving a major's commission.
Upon general demobilization, he was retained in service and assigned to the office of the judge advocate general in Washington. In 1920 he was commissioned a major in the Department of the Army, and subsequently advanced to lieutenant colonel and colonel. He held the last rank when he retired in 1940.

Alice Felicia "Felicia" Reeves had reference number 10935. Willie Reeves Hardin Bivins wrote:

Felicia was shot when LeRoy, who was 15, was cleaning his gun. His dispair haunted him; his relatives said that he never fully recovered from the tragedy. His collection of glass negatives, some medals, a little locket and a few trinkets were given to me by his brother, Stanley, after his death. The locket holds a tiny photograph of a little girl's face. Prints made from one of the glass negatives reveal the entire picture, a sweet-faced little girl sitting in a small chair in the yard. And one glass negative completes the mementos of Felicia. It shows her in her casket, with her face turned to one side. I think I made the first print from that negative.

OBITUARY - The Comet, Johnson City, TN, November 14, 1891

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Little Daughter of Col. E. C. Reeves Meets a Sad Death.
One of the saddest accidents that perhaps ever occurred in this city happened yesterday about 7 o'clock a.m. at the residence of Col. E. C. Reeves. Mr. Reeves Oldest son, who is about fifteen years of age was looking in the bureau drawer for his ??? and saw a pistol that had been placed there by some one. It was a breach loading thirty-eight calibre. Finding it loaded, he thought it was not safe to remain there in that condition. ... all of the cartridges, but it seems that there was one cartridge left in it and in replacing the pistol in the drawer it in some manner was discharged inflecting a mortal wound on his sister who was playing near him. The ball entered the right eye clear of the lids and passed directly through the head coming out at the base of the brain and burying itself in the wainscoting of the house. She lay unconscious for two hours, when the last breath came and her precious soul went home to heaven. Little Alice Felicia was nearly three years old and was not only the pride and joy of her loving parents, sister and brothers, but all who knew her. The deepest sympathy of the whole city goes out to the bereaved family, and especially to the brother who was the innocent instrument in this sad affliction. His love and devotion to his sweet darling little sister was proverbial, and he was always ready to do or to suffer for her. The sad news spread over the city as if by electricity, and hundreds of sympathizing friends gathered in a short time at Col. Reeves residence, offering sympathy and help in the midst of such appalling sorrow, we stand abashed and can only commend the afflicted ones to the allwise God whom they love and serve, and who will some day make his purpose known.
The funeral will take place Sunday morning. The remains will be interred in the family burying ground west of town. Further particulars as to the funeral will appear tomorrow morning.

BASIC FACTS

Myra Gaines Reeves was born on 27 September 1889 in Johnson City, Washington Co., Tennessee.² She and Joseph Milton Hardin were married on 31 August 1920 in Johnson City, Washington Co., Tennessee.² She died on 23 April 1980, at age 90, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Co., Oklahoma.² She was buried in Resthaven Memory Gardens, Oklahoma City, Cleveland Co., Oklahoma.³

Myra Gaines Reeves had reference number 10939. She resided in Farmed in Olustee-Eldorado area, Jackson Co., Oklahoma (until 1937); Siloam Springs, Arkansas (1937); Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to be near their children (1974.)² Her Social Security Number was 429-12-9690, issued Arkansas.⁴ Her daughter, Willie Reeves Hardin Bivins wrote:

Myra Gaines Reeves was born Sept. 27, 1889, near Johnson City, a small town in East Tennessee. She was the product of generations of pioneer American ancestors. Some were in Jamestown Colony; all were in the Colonies before the Revolution. Many of them left Virginia and were early settlers of North Carolina and later, Tennessee.

In August, 1919, she met Joseph Milton Hardin, a young man from the new state of Oklahoma, when he arrived in Johnson City to visit his step-grand- mother, who was Myra's aunt. Copies of the charming, spirited letters of their year of courtship are cherished by their nine grandchildren. In August, 1920, Joe returned to Tennessee and they were married.

After the wedding they traveled by train to the praire settlement of Olustee in the southwest corner of Oklahoma, where they built a little farm house and began their long life together.

Within a few years, because of the combination of depression and the drought years of the Dust Bowl, they decided to move with their three young children to northwest Arkansas, where they settled in 1937 in Siloam Springs.

Myra Hardin was the epitome of the warm little grandmother -- short, plump, old fashioned, unstylish, and modest. Yet she was exceptionally intelligent and well-read. She was proud, not of herself, but of her ancestry and her descendants -- she could and did boast of both!

She was not a tidy housekeeper, but a great homemaker. She loved to cook and could make a good meal of almost anything, or at times, of almost nothing. Her favorite mealtime theory was that if folks had good bread, they thought they had a fine meal. In addition to frequent baking of salt rising and other types of "light bread," she baked hot biscuits once or twice a day.

Myra and Joe enjoyed company more than any other diversion. Guests at mealtime were always a delight. And guests often remained for days, weeks, even months.

In addition to her hobbies of cooking, canning, and reading, she carried on an extensive correspondence and was noted for her letter writing ability. She did not like to sew, but did a lot of crochet and tatting. All her sheets, pillow cases, and towels were edged with handmade lace.

In spite of ever-present financial problems and the sad handicap of Joe's progressive blindness which brought about his retirement before he was 60, they managed to live happily. They loved their friends and their town. They enjoyed walking and were known by everyone in the community. She commented in a letter when she was 80 that she was tired, but it was probably because they had walked five miles that day.

The accompaning photograph was taken when she was about 80. She was standing under a tree saying goodbye to departing children, and had picked up her cat so that he would not run under the car. This has been a favorite picture among her family and friends. She most often was seen in a print house dress, and at home was never found without a bright little bib apron. Her fine, wispy hair which never turned very gray, was confined in a hair net, and her smile was always ready to light up her face.

In 1976, the book "Hico -- A Heritage -- Siloam Springs History," by Maggie Aldridge Smith, said of them: (page 406) ". . .Their home in Siloam is still maintained but most of their time is now spent in an apartment in Superbia Retirement Village near their daughter . . . in Oklahoma City . . . These two are neighbors of Maggie Smith -- they alway walked arm in arm, talking and laughing as though the day was new and their enjoyment fresh and lovely."

Myra Gaines Reeves Hardin died quietly in her sleep Aprin 23, 1980, at the age of 90, three years after the death of her husband.

BIOGRAPHY - Thomas Heyward, Jr . Signer of the Declaration of Independence (Source: Centennial Book of Signers)

THOMAS HEYWARD, JR .was born on July 28, 1746 in St. Luke's parish, South Carolina. His father, Colonel Daniel Heyward was a planter of great wealth, however, he was determined to bestow on his son all the advantages a thorough education would bring him. He selected the best school in the province for young Heyward, who, by his diligence, became quite knowledgeable of the Latin language, and was sent to England to study law at the Middle Temple. Although young Heyward was due to inherit a large fortune, he devoted himself to the study of law with the ardor of someone who expected to earn their living from the practice of the profession. After finishing with his education in England, he commenced on a tour of Europe that took him several years. His father's fortune gave him the opportunity to gain a knowledge of the different countries of Europe and to contrast the industry and simplicity of his countrymen with the laziness, luxury and corruption and pride that was so prevalent on the continent.
Heyward returned to South Carolina in 1771 and quickly joined his fellow patriots in their fight for independence. He had become embittered in England by the contemptuous attitude of the British toward the "backwoods colonials". He was elected to the provincial assembly in 1772 and a year later, when he was twenty-seven, he married Elizabeth Matthews, the daughter of a prosperous planter.
In 1775, Heyward became a member of the South Carolina Committee of Safety and he was elected to fill a vacancy in the continental congress that was created by the recall of John Rutledge who was called back to assist in defending the state against a threatened invasion. Heyward, being a modest man at first declined. However, he was convinced to fulfill the duties of his appointment and he arrived in Philadelphia in time to enter the discussion of the great question of American independence. Heyward signed the Declaration of Independence five days after his thirtieth birthday.
In 1778, Heyward left Congress to become judge of criminal courts of the new South Carolina government. Soon after his rise to the bench, he was called upon to preside over the trial and accusation of several persons charged with treasonable correspondence with the British army in Charleston. The condemnation of these colonists was followed by their execution, which took place within view of the enemy soldiers, and which served to render the judge most objectionable to the British.
Despite the danger of an advancing British army near his court, Heyward held at the same time a military commission, and in the battle of Beauford, he received a wound that left a scar that marked him for the remainder of his life. In the spring of 1780, the city of Charleston was besieged by General Clinton and upon the surrender of the city, Heyward was taken prisoner and sent with Edward Rutledge, Richard Hutson and other patriots to St. Augustine, Florida, where he was imprisoned for a year. Here he amused himself by composing patriotic words to such British national songs as "God save the King,", that the prisoners might indulge their patriotic sentiments under the cover of loyal British tunes. During his imprisonment a party of British soldiers visited his plantation and carried away all his slaves, which were later sold by their captors to sugar planters in Jamaica. His wife became gravely ill and she died before his release from prison.
Heyward and his fellow prisoners at St. Augustine were released and returned to Philadelphia. On his voyage, he narrowly escaped death, by some accident he fell overboard but fortunately kept himself from sinking by holding on to the rudder of the ship until someone could help him.
In 1781, Heyward returned to South Carolina and resumed his judicial duties until 1789. In 1790 he acted as a member of the state convention for forming South Carolina's constitution. The following year, he retired from all public offices except those that were connected to his duties as judge.
Heyward was twice married. After the death of his first wife, he married a Miss Savage. He had children by both wives, however their history has not been ascertained.
Heyward died on his South Carolina plantation on March 6, 1809.
