Notes for Donald Lester Reeves
There is a double stone in Stewart Cemetery in Clearfield (also known as Markwell Cemetery) with the names “REEVES, Don L. : Martha Jane” and full dates for both. But according to Bill Stewart, Don is buried in Fairfield, Texas, with his third wife. So apparently only his second wife Martha is buried under the Stewart Cemetery stone.
