Theodosia married William Titsworth REEVES (1855-1938) on 12 Nov 1879 in Aurora, IL and they had 5 children including Helen; Allan or Allen Gould; Marjorie; Louise; and George Ruggles REEVES, all born between 1884 and 1895. Theodosia died 13 Sept 1946 in Oshkosh, WI and is buried in the Spring Lake Cemetery in Aurora, IL.
William Titsworth REEVES was b. 29 Oct 1855 in Aurora, IL to parents Charles Henry REEVES (1830-1923) and Lydia Bishop TOMLINSON (1830-1911) who were married 5 Sept 1854 in Bridgeton Township, Cumberland Co., NJ. William was one of 5 children born to this couple including William Titsworth; Joseph Tomlinson; Louise Tomlinson; Charles Henry “Harry”; and George Cattrell or Cottrell REEVES, all born between 1855 and 1872. William died 25 Sept 1938 in Oshkosh, WI and is also buried in the Spring Lake Cemetery in Aurora, IL.
I am hoping to get these treasures back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
