others the three old members of the con.
vention had heard nothing Of for years
and knew not their present whereabouts
or whether alive or dead.
Incidentally in the proceedings of that
convention the name of Judge Reese is
spelled without the final "e".
That is the correct way to spell my
NAME said Judge Reese, but | use the
e.. There was some doubt about it and
years ago I sent down TO Missouri and
received a copy of the family history and
the e. was used, so 1 adopted it. Later l
learned this was incorrect and that l have
no right to use the final e. However l
shall not change the spelling now
