Cadwallader and he started the newspaper called the Rough Notes under the firm name of George Reese and Co., and daring the exciting political campaign of 1852 the Whig ticket of Scott and Graham did not have a more earnest or enthusiastic supporter in the country than the Rough Notes of Buffalo. But the decadence of the Whig party proved destructive to the prosperity of the Rough Notes, and after an unsuccessful financial career of two or more years it was surpassed the American Rights under the arrangement, and daring presidential campaign of 1688 the American Rights did stalwart service for the Know Nothing candidates, Bell and Everett. This paper too disappeared with the party to

He was one of seven children, two sons and five daughters. He was the father of eleven children, three sons and eight daughters. Five daughters survive him: four living in Buffalo, and the eldest residing in Minneapolis. Col. W. J. Morgan, collector of customs in Buffalo, is a son-in-law of Mr. Reese. There are living, sixteen grand children and seven great-grand children. The history of the Reese family is remarkable.
The parents of Mr. Reese lived together over 61 years, the father dying first in his 85th year and the mother two or three years later in her 89th year. In all these years of wedded life, no death occurred among the children; and not until sixteen years after the death of the parents, was
this circle broken, when in May 1888, Mrs. Stahl of Minneapolis was taken, and a about a year ago the other brother, Jacob of Niagara Falls, died. There are still
living four widowed sisters: Mrs. Catherine Fisher of Minneapolis; Mrs. Salome Trichler of Sanborn: Mrs. Mary Stahl of Seneca Falls, and Mrs. Margaret Newcomer of
