Biographical: Little is known about G. G. He farmed and started his family near Roberta, Ga, where he was born and raised. They later moved to Ben Hill County, Ga. in the early 1900's, where he raised his children to adulthood. He and his wife went to live with his son Rodolphus (Doc) Reeves and wife Edith in his later years, and both died of natural causes while living with them. They are buried near Fitzgerald, Ga. The spelling of his given names are in doubt, as it appears in the family bible only as "G. G. Reeves," and various compiled works and family histories spell his first name in different ways, such as "Gault," "Gaught," etc. In any case, the name is a distinctive one, and I have been told he was named for a Confederate General. If any visitor is able to validate that, I would like to hear from them, as I have been unable to find one with that name in the records. Census records show his name as "Gurley G. Reeves," or simply "G.G. Reeves."
