Notes |
- Notes for HARRY C. REEL:
Harry Reel was a murder victim at the Harrison County Fair Grounds at the age of twenty. His assailant was never found.
David, I wonder if the Reel who was shot was the story Dad used to tell. Dad's Uncle Wren Goodwin ran dances at the park in the pavillion. They had many name bands play there. One night the guy selling tickets ? Wouldn't let someone in who was drunk and the guy ? went home and got his gun and came back and shot him. Lynn
David,
Just talked to my mother. Here is what she knows about the murder of Reel in the Valley park.
She was about 10 so that makes it Circa 1926.
She and her parents were at the fair and they saw men leading the murder away. His name was Reid. She said it is spelled that way. He was an uncle to Carol Reid who was a few years behind me in school. Her family rented my Greatgrandmother Hearns house from my mom in later years. I had the story right.
Reel was selling the tickets to the dance and wouldn't let Reid in because of his drunk state. He went home got his gun and shot and killed Reel. Carol Reid married a guy from Omaha named Ron Huchison (sp?) and they live near or at Crescent. That should give you some data to follow up on.
David, Mom remembered that Carol (Reed) is spelled Reed.
The Murderer lived in the park and so didn't have very far to go to get his gun. Lynn
