Robert Reaves; eluding the "Yankees," he went West, and for years it was not . generally known where he was — he was in Mississippi ; he remained there for twenty years or more, when he returned to Marion with his wife ; she soon died, and he has been with his son, John K. Page, and still lives with him ; he is in his eighty third year. John K. Page, with whom the old gentleman lives. is a very trustworthy man, a good manager and very prosperous.
