Thomas N. Reaves being duly sworn ... says that on the 24th day of May 1899 T. C. Reaves was complaining of feeling unwell in the morning and that in the evening he went to ploughing and between four and five oclock in the evening I saw his horse standing in the field to the plough and saw something white behind the plough. I went to see what was the matter with my father. when I got to him I found him lying flat on his face. I put my hand under his head and turned him over. he breathed one breath and died.
