obituary, The Hamburg (IA) Reporter, Thursday, September 9, 1926
Hamburg was all excitement on Sunday evening when the news flashed about town that John Callahan had killed Myron Reeves at the Williams garage on lower Main street. Callahan, a man some fifty-five years of age and Reeves, aged thirty seven, had not been on friendly terms for several years and during the past few weeks, prior to the shooting, had had more trouble. Eye witnesses to the shooting stated that Callahan was on the street near the garage when Reeves and another man drove up. Callahan, it was stated, drew his pistol and started shooting at Reeves. The latter ran into the Williams garage and his pursuer continued shooting, two of the shots striking Reeves. One shot lodged in his shoulder and as he turned another struck him in the mouth, lodging in the bones at the back of his neck. He died almost instantly. Callahan was placed under arrest and taken to the county jail at Sidney to await trial for murder. Myron Reeves, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Reeves, was born near Hamburg on December 31, 1888 and died in Hamburg on September 5, 1926, aged 37 years 9 months and 4 days. The deceased was survived by his wife, three sons, one daughter and his parents. Funeral services were held from the home of his parents on Wednesday afternoon and interment was made in the Hamburg cemetery.
