  Taken from George Balls Reeder Obituary published in the Box Elder News, September 24, 1914 PIONEER CROSSES THE DIVIDE When the angel of death called George B. Reeder shortly before midnight last Friday evening, one more of the sterling band who built the roads and bridges and killed the snakes passed on to his reward. Brother Reeder had been confined to his bed practically for two years. He did not suffer pain but was so enfeebled that he had not strength to help himself out of bed except at short intervals and during the last few days he was in a semi-conscious condition. Just a few minutes before the end came, the family surrounded his bed and in fervent prayer asked God to do for their husband and father as He saw fit and it was but a short time thereafter until the aged man gave a sigh of relief and the machinery of life came to a standstill after nearly 87 years of constant operation. In the passing of this good man Brigham City lost one of the builders of the commonwealth for since his arrival in this city (it was only a fort then) in 1856, George B. Reeder has been actively interested in the up-building of the community and the promotion of every enterprise that made for the betterment of conditions. During his later years, age counted much against him and his activities were confined mostly to looking after his personal affairs, but in the beginning he was identified with all the expeditions that were organized to lay the foundations of the city. George B. Reeder was born in Linstead, East Suffolk, England, January 12th, 1828. At the age of eight years he saw his mother pass away and in company of other children was compelled to struggle under the direction of their father, to provide for the daily wants of the family. This experience impressed upon him the lesson of frugality in all things, a characteristic which was very prominent in his make-up and by the observances of which he gathered about him after coming to this land, sufficient of the world’s goods to provide for himself and loved ones and leave the world owing no man a dollar. When he was 25 years of age, he heard a Mormon Elder preach the gospel in his native land and having been a bible reader from his early youth, he was impressed with what he heard. He learned more of the doctrines the missionaries enunciated and immediately accepted the faith and was baptized. He remained in England the following year when he left in company with others for Utah. Before departing from his home, he gave promise to his father that his first efforts would be directed to earning sufficient means to immigrate the family, a promise which was faithfully kept. Brother Reeder spent eleven weeks on the ocean before arriving at New Orleans. A ride up the Mississippi to a starting point for the journey across the plains was made and after landing, Brother Reeder secured an ox team which he drove to Salt Lake City arriving there on September 19th, 1853. He labored industriously to fulfill his promise to his father and was rewarded by meeting his family, except his father and a sister who perished on the way, in 1856. The family came with the belated hand cart company and what they suffered is a matter of history, the story of which is about the most pathetic thing in print. Accepting the counsel of Brigham Young delivered at the October Conference in 1855, for the saints to spread out and get possession of the land, Brother Reeder came on to Brigham City the following year and took up his abode in the Old Fort. Since that time Brigham City has been his home. During that first winter, of ’56, the people of this section endured extreme hardship and the following year was little better. They ate segos, boiled bull rushes, rawhide and resorted to other means to provide food with which to sustain life and thru it all the subject of this sketch never waivered in his faith nor regretted his action in leaving England. He at once became one of the leading citizens of the community and took a prominent part in laying out farms, building roads and bridges, getting the water from springs in the canyon and in every way did his share in the upbuilding of the community. When the Echo Canyon war broke out he was called into service and went to the front to fight, if necessary, to prevent Johnson’s army from coming and crushing the handful of people in the valley. During the move south he acted as one of the rear guards. Previous to taking this journey, he was married to Mary Ann Craghead and his first child was born in Rush Valley before the saints returned to their homes in the north. Returning to Brigham City, he took up his avocation as a farmer and plied himself with energy. He obeyed the law of plural marriage b taking a second wife in the person of Caroline Madsen to whom he was married in March, 1866. He served as County herdsman for three years looking after all the cattle and when the United Order was established he entered it consecrating all he possessed. He took a prominent part in this experience and emerged from it much in the same condition as the others who entered it. He served as a counselor to Bishop Adolph Madsen during his term as bishop of Third ward and was chosen by Bishop A. A. Janson to act as a counselor to him when he was appointed bishop. Brother Reeder’s motto was the Golden Rule and he lived it faithfully. He was the personification of the noblest work of God for he was as honest as any man could be. He was unpretentious and God fearing, minding his own business under all circumstances but was never too engrossed with his own affairs to lend assistance publicly or privately when called upon. By his two wives he had 22 children, nine sons and five daughters being still alive. His first wife died many years ago. There are also living 57 grand children and 15 great-grand children besides a brother, Robert Reeder of Hyde Park, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Metcalf of Malad, Idaho. Impressive funeral services were held in the Third ward chapel on Monday afternoon beginning at 2 o’clock. Bishop D. P. Burt presided and made the opening remarks in which he paid a beautiful tribute to the life and labors of the departed. The other speakers were Henry C. Jensen, Joseph P. Burt, L. Peter Johnson, George Gilbert, George Harding of Willard, A. Madsen, James Olsen, Pres. W. C. Horsley and Pres. L. A. Snow. Each paid a glowing tribute to the life of the deceased and recounted many of the experiences of early days in which he played a prominent part. The musical numbers rendered by the choir were the hymns “Our Everlasting Friend,”, “Who Are These Arrayed in White?” and “When First the Glorious Light of Truth.” Between speakers Daisy and Sevena Madsen sang the hymn “Glorious Tings (sic.) are Sung of Zion” and Victor E. Madsen sang Brother Reeder’s favorite hymn “Let us Pray Gladly Pray.” The prayers were offered by Bishops P. C. Johnson of Mantua and Thaddeus Wight of Harper. A large cortege accompanied the remains to the cemetery, the nine sons of the deceased walking at the side and behind the horses. The grave was dedicated by W. S. Hansen of Fielding. There was a profusion of flowers and a very large attendance at the services, many relatives and friends coming from a distance to pay a tribute of respect to the noble man who had been called to his rest.
