Timothy Reeves Post War Work

I found a neat little book entitled "Historical Sketches of the Baptists of Southeast Missouri".

I found a little sketch of Timothy Reeves who was a Baptist preacher before the war. During the war he was a hard fighting commander of the 15th Missouri Cavalry C.S.A.

I had read in other publications that Reeves returned to his previous profession following the war and apparently he pursued it with the same vigor that he exercised  as a cavalry commander during the War Between the States.

In the following information is found:

"In 1866, after the war, Elder Timothy Reeves (whom the book spells Reaves) submitted a good report on of missionary work done by him that year in the bounds of the Association-having baptized over 80 persons and organized  five new churches. "
