I am still in the process of looking for any information on the following people

1. Eliza Reel (I'm not sure what her maiden name is. She is listed on William McClellan death cert as Eliza Reel)

2. William McClellan Reel Feb 5, 1861 Hardy, Co to Oct 7 1954, Grant Co

3. Charles Edward Reel March 9 1899 Grant Co to March 31, 1962 Preston Co

4. Mary Catherine Reel March 10, 1941, Cabins Co to Dec 28 1999, Oakland, MD (This is my grandmother)

I was able to find the death Certificate for William McClellan Reel, informant is Frank Reel (I don't have a clue as to who he is. Mother is Eliza Reel) I also have the 1900- Grant Co Milroy District, 1910= Grant Co, Milroy District, 1920- Grant co, Milroy District census for him. William married Cora E. Shirk


I was in Petersburg WV about a year ago. I thought that William McClellan Reel was buried up there in the Reel Cemetery, however I could not find his head stone. However, there were several head stone that were no longer there. So he very well could be buried there. I was also told that William's mother Eliza was not married when William was born but I have not been about to confirm that.

If you have any information that may point me in the right direction, please feel free to contact me at

Thanks so much
