Reese, Lempi Mary
​Marker Not Found
Born: November 14, 1904
Died: February 24, 1929
Age: 25
Note: Mrs. Thomas Reese of Hanna Passes On By T.H. Butler: The Angel of Death again visited our little community on February 24th, and removed from our midst Mrs. Lempi Mary Reese, beloved wife of Thomas Reese.
Mrs. Reese was born at Evelith, Minnesota, on November 14th, 1904, and came to Hanna with her parents, Mr. And Mrs. Frank Lehto, at the age of seven years. She attended the public schools here and became the wife of Thomas Reese on June 20, 1926. 
Funeral services were held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Thursday, February 28th, at 11:00 a.m., the burial service of the Episcopal Church being read by Rev. Francis Bacon. Burial took place at the Hanna cemetery and the love and esteem in which the decedent was held was evidenced by the many beautiful floral offerings.
Mrs. Reese leaves to mourn her untimely death, her husband, her father, three sisters, Linda residing at Winton, Wyoming; Mamie, residing at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Mrs. Palmer Kandolin of Jamaica, Long Island, New York, her brother, William Lehto, residing at Duluth, Minnesota, besides one sister who lives in Finland.
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends in their hour of sorrow and trouble. (UPCCEM May 1929)
