At the age of 20 he moved to Indiana and a year later was married to Miss Agnes Reser. To this union were born 11 children. In the year 1870 they moved to Kansas, coming by way of steamboat to St. Louis and from there by way of rail to Topeka, Kansas. For three years they lived in the old Indianola hotel. Mr. Reser then took up a homestead in Pottawatomie county and lived on it until the year 1883 when the family moved to Rossville township where he purchased the farm owned by him ever since, three miles north of Rossville. Recently the farm was rented to J.C. Reser, the youngest son, and Mr. Reser and wife moved to the residence of his son, B.F. Reser, near the Cedar Bluff Mill. It was here Sunday evening, April 26, that he was struck with paralysis and remained in an unconscious condition until death came to his release at 7:10 o’clock the following Tuesday evening. He leaves to mourn his death, a wife and eight children – five sons, B.F., J.C., Roll, Zack and Wyatt Reser, and daughters, Mrs. Mart Nason, Mrs. Ed James and Mrs. John Shenk. Besides the immediate family are four brothers, M. Reser, Z. Reser, M.B. Reser and Wyatt Reser and three sisters, Mrs. John Sebring of Westmoreland, Mrs. Harriet Sawyer of near Eskridge, and Mrs. Sarah Sawyer of Topeka, to mourn his going away. Mr. Reser united with the Christian church at the age of 24 and was a faithful servant of the Master until his death. The funeral services were held in the Christian church at Rossville Wednesday afternoon, April 29, conducted by the Rev. Chas. Finch of the First Christian church, Topeka. A large concourse of sympathizing friends filled the church and many beautiful floral tributes banked the casket. The interment took place in Rossville city cemetery. Mr. Reser was a good citizen, holding the respect and esteem of a large circle of acquaintances and neighbors and his loss will be keenly felt by the community in which he lived. But he had rounded out a long life of usefulness and service and his death is but the transition of the faithful Christian to the joys of the life beyond.

Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o’clock in the Metho¬dist church conducted by Rev. G. G. Horne, of Topeka. Interment was in the family lot in Rossville ceme¬tery.

Zachariah Reser was born in Scott County, Ky., March 13, 1848. His parents were Wyatt and Nancy Reser natives of Kentucky, of whose thirteen children the survivors live in Kansas, representatives of a sturdy stock from which class came many pioneers hither. When Wyatt Reser and wife packed their household goods and children in the wagon that was to carry them out of their native state they headed for Indiana and on reaching that state located on a farm near Rising Sun. There they lived until 1866 when they were attracted to Kansas and again a long journey was made and land was secured near Topeka and on that place the parents of Zachariah Reser died in ad¬vanced age. Zachariah Reser was 18 years old when he accompanied his parents to this state. He had not been given many educational advantages as he was an older member of the large family and from boyhood had been obliged to work hard for his own sup¬port and to help others. He was a good son and did his duty. In the course of time he secured a home¬stead in Pottawatomie County and later sold it and came to Shawnee county and bought 60 acres to which he added until at the time of his re¬tirement from farm work he owned 400 acres of fine land. In 1868 Mr. Reser returned to Indiana and was married there to Lizzie Meyers, who died three years later.
