The YPSCE of the Waveland Christian Church gave a concert on May 5 was most enjoyable from beginning to end. Three choruses were sung by an octette composed of Mrs. Johnson; Misses Conner, Cuppy and Russell; Messrs Rice, Taylor, McCain and Kritz. Miss Jessie Smith recited in a very effecte manner the experiences of a bicycler. Dr. Reese Kelso has a very pretty tenor voice and rendered “Thinking” by CA White. There was a piano trio by Misses Todd, Boyland and Russell and Misses Easlack and Russes played a piano duet. Eddie Brandkamp played two solos, Miss Bertie Eastlack sang a solo as did Miss Nell Nicholson and AA McCain. But the best number was the medley, a reproduction of the graduation exercises of the high school class of ’90. Miss Nicholson had drilled 8 young ladies: Misses Cuppy, Allen, Kritz, Acker, Cuppy, Smith, Russell and Wiley and they did so well that they were enthusiastically encored.

Dr. Reese D. Kelso died of Bright's disease at Waveland Friday night at 11 o'clock. His many friends here are inexpressibly pained to learn of his untimely death. The Waveland Independent, issued on Saturday contains the following typographical sketch:
Dr. Kelso was brn in Waveland in 1866, and has spent nearly all his life here, where he was held in universal esteem. He attended Wabash College for 3 years, after which he entered Rush Medical College, from which he graduated in 1892, and had been engaged in the successful practice of his profession ever since. Last year his health failed, and he spent the winter in Fl; returning in the spring apparently much improved in health, but the improvement was of short duration. He sank rapidly and in spite of all that medical skill and tender care could do for him. In May 1893, he married Miss Victoria Kritz. They have one daughter, Helen, a sweet little girl of two years. He was a member of the Presbyteri an church, and lived a consistent Christian life. He was a Past Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and also a Mason. Funeral services were held at the ME Church at 2 o'clock, Sunday.

Note: I, Karen Bazzani Zach was a neighbor of Helen's. She was an old maid librarian but a wonderful, sweet one who was not grouchy but encouraging to children her visited her domain. My dad helped her with little odds and ends to her home. It is likely the home where her parents lived but not sure about that. She and her mother, Victoria, lived together until the mother passed away in 1955. Helen married William Isaacs, a wonderful man when she was in her early 60s.
