Reef is the s/o Daniel and Mary Adele (Reef) Egger of Monroe county, OH
Reef Egger, Well Known Publisher of Pagosa, acting postmaster at Pagosa, and clerk of the district court in Archuleta county, passed away at his home in Pagosa, at 5:00 o'clock this morning, as the result of pneumonia following a nervous breakdown and an attack of the flu. The deceased was one of the most widely known men in Archuleta county, having spent the major part of his life in that section. He was born in Woodfield, O., in 1890, and when a small child moved to Pagosa Springs with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Egger. Soon after moving to Pagosa Dan Egger became engaged in the newspaper business; in 1909 Reef moved with his father to Bayfield where they established the Bayfield Blade; in 1911, Reef returned to Pagosa. When the United States entered the World War Reef joined the army and served until the Armistice was signed. In 1919 he returned to Pagosa Springs where he purchased the Pagosa Sun, which he publilshed continuously thereafter until called by death. For the past fifteen years he had served as clerk of the district court in Archuleta county. Reef joined the American Legion soon after the organization was formed and was very active in Legion circles. During his many years of community service Reef Egger acquired a host of friends from every walk in life, who feel keenly the loss of a loving husband and father, a loyal friend, and an upright and honorable business man.
The deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Egger, and two sons, Reef, Jr., 5, and Kirklin, 2, of Pagosa Springs; his mother, Mrs. M.A. Egger, of Los Angeles; two sisters, Mrs. C.A.Douglass, of Los Angeles and Mrs. H.A. Owen of Ignacio; and two brothers, Raymond Egger and Roy Egger, of Pagosa Springs.
Funeral arrangements have not been made pending word from relatives who reside at distant points. It is known, however, that he will be laid to rest with full military honors.
