Edwin Joseph Reeves ’38

Late news has been received of Ed's death on Oct. 29, 2000, on Hilton Head Island, S.C.

A Texan born and bred, Ed went to Lawrenceville. At Princeton he played 150-pound football and was in Charter Club. He majored in politics, graduating with honors.

After obtaining his law degree from the U. of Texas, he married Margaret Littlejohn in 1942 and was promptly drafted into the Army. He served from 1942--46 with the 3rd and 4th Armored Divisions in Europe, earning a Bronze Star and three battle stars, and was released as a captain.

Thereafter, his business career as assistant general counsel with Standard Oil of N.J., Creole Petroleum, and Intl. Petroleum companies took him to South America, Canada, Egypt, and various U.S. locations.

Ed married Mary B. Jamieson in 1953. In 1995, as a widower, he moved from Miami to Hilton Head. Survivors include a daughter, Crary R. Lauer, a stepson, David Beaty, a sister, Barbara R. Dunn, and three grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its sincere sympathies.
