Mrs. Fannie Reser Dies

Mrs. Reser was born March 16, 1877, in Rossville. She was the last of nine children born to Daniel and Melinda Wilt, who were originally from Pennsylvania. The Wilt family was one of the pioneer families settling in Rossville in the early 1800's.

It was also her great pride and satisfaction to be a graduate of the Menninger Bible Course. She held a life membership in the Order of the Eastern Star.
