- DAVID E. REESE, secretary of the Combined Locks Paper Company and of the Green Bay and Mississippi Canal Company, and treasurer of the Fox River Telephone and Telegraph Company, is one of the leading business citizens of Appleton, Wisconsin, and has been prominently identified with some of its large business enterprises. Mr. Reese was born in Neenah, Wisconsin, March 14, 1855, a son of Thomas and Jane (Jones) Reese, natives of Wales, who came to the United States in 1846 and located in Pennsylvania. Two years later they came west to Neenah, among the early settlers, and here Thomas Reese engaged in various occupations, eventually becoming connected with the Kimberly Flour Mills. In 1898, he removed to Appleton, where his death occurred in 1902, his widow surviving him but one year. These good people were consistent members of the Methodist Church. They had four children, as follows: Thomas, who died in 1902, was clerk of Appleton at the time of his death; Annie, who died at the age of fourteen years; David E.; and an infant who died aged two years. David E. Reese received a public school education in Neenah, and at the age of fifteen years began to work for himself as clerk in the Neenah post office. For two years he clerked in a store at Lima, Ohio, and on his return to his native place he found employment in the mills until 1878, at which time he came to Appleton, and in 1878 went to work in the paper mill. He then spent two and one-half years in Colorado, after which he returned to Appleton, where he has been prominently identified with the paper business ever since. He was connected with the interests of J. S. Van Nortwick at Kaukauna for a number of years; beginning in 1885, and he is now one of the executives of the Van Nortwick estate. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Order of Elks, and his political convictions are those of the Republican party. In 1882 Mr. Reese was married to Miss Katherine Jones, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and to this union there were born two children: Harry B. and Mary E.
