Family Photos Reece's parents: Mary Jane and Reuben Andrew George Walter Reece George and family (about 1905-06) click to enlarge

Walter "Reece" George, seventh child of Mary Jane and Reuben Andrew GEORGE and the twin of Wesley Reuben, was born on April 14, 1870, in Nodaway County Missouri at his parents' home in northwest MO. Reece's brothers and sisters - the George aunts & uncles were: * Louise "Alice" GEORGE FITCH (1855-1941) * Charles Thomas GEORGE (1858-1938) * William Handley GEORGE (1861-1945) lived in Custer Co MT * Enoch Ezra GEORGE (1863-1868) lived in Andrew Co MO * James Newton GEORGE (1865-1941) lived in Nodaway Co MO * Margaret Ellen GEORGE MATTHEWS LEONARD (1867-1946) * Walter "Reece" GEORGE (1870-1932) lived in Custer Co, MT * Wesley Reuben GEORGE (1870-1870) * Nancy "Pearl" GEORGE (1874-1964) Martha Ellen McMasters, the daughter of ??, married Walter "Reece" George on 26 August, 1896 in Iowa. Martha Ellen and Walter Reece GEORGE had 7 children: Iva Pauline * Ina Vivian * Gladys Mae * Dora Bernice * Marian Alice * Jay McMasters * Walter Ray Sometime before 1901, Reece's brother Will took his wife Ollie and daughter Beryl to Custer County Montana to try to heal Ollie of TB. But Ollie died 26 December 1901 and Beryl said that when Will took her body the 56 miles from Knowlton to Miles City, all the Knowlton relatives were sick with the grippe. So these Knowlton relatives may have been Reece's brothers Tom and Martha Dale and family, who had left Nodaway County Missouri for Montana sometime after 1905 (if Marian was born in MO), and/or Reece and Martha who also moved to Custer County MT (exact date unknown). At the end of their lives, Reece and Martha were buried at Knowlton Cemetery, Custer Co, Montana.
