S. B. Reese, farmer, Nashville, Ark. Mr. Reese, another of the many successful and thorough-going agriculturists of the county, is a native of this county (then Pike County), his birth occurring April 2, 1857, and is the seventh of twelve children born to J. G. and Katie (Womack) Reese, who were natives of Bedford County, Tenn. The parents were married in their native State, and about 1850 emigrated to Arkansas, and settled in Pike County. At present they are living near Centre Point, this county. Of the twelve children born to this union, six are now living and are residents of this county. S. B. Reese received a good English education in the common country schools, and at the age of twenty-one years began working for himself as an agriculturist, and this has since received his attention. He is at present the owner of 481 acres of land, and has 200 acres under cultivation. He is progressive in his ideas, and has all the latest improved machinery to lighten the labor of the farm. Mr. Reese was married in 1874 to Miss Carrie Waits, the daughter of Dr. Waits, who was a prominent physician in his time. To Mr. and Mrs. Reese have been born five children, only two now living: Ota and Katie M., both at home. Mr. Reese is quite active in politics, and votes with the Democratic party. He and wife are members of the Christian Church.
