Haws--Reeves.
Miss Kathleen Reeves, daughter of Mrs. Mary Reeves, of this city, was married to Mr. Samuel N. Haws at 8:30 o'clock this evening in the First Presbyterian Church. Dr. W. O. Cochrane officiated. The bride is a daughter of the late Capt. I. E. Reeves, of Jonesboro, Tenn. For two years she had been in Bristol as a teacher in the city schools. The groom is a lawyer of Jonesboro.
Biographical Sketch:
Samuel Nathan Haws was born on 28 June 1879 in Tennessee. His father was a farmer near Kingsport, Tennessee. Throughout Samuel Haws’ life he invested in land and stocks, ran lumber companies, and farmed. He owned lumber tracts just outside Walterboro, South Carolina; Johnson City, Tennessee; and Kingsport, Tennessee.
He married Kathleen Reeves on 22 June 1904. Her family home was Wheatland plantation in Washington County, Tennessee. She graduated from Jonesboro [Tennessee] High School on 23 May 1895 and attended Peabody Normal College. She worked as a teacher prior to their marriage, and in April 1921 she was appointed to the Kingsport [Tennessee] Board of Education.
Following their marriage, the couple moved to St. Matthews, South Carolina, where Samuel Haws practiced law for a number of years. In 1913 he bought a tract of land near Kingsport, Tennessee, for use in his lumber business. The following year, he financed the building of a railroad siding for use in these endeavors. By 1917 he had moved his family to a 2,740-acre land tract near Stokes, South Carolina (just north of Walterboro). This land was used in his lumber operation, but he also farmed and raised livestock on it. Over the next several years, Haws frequently traveled between Walterboro and his various business interests in Tennessee.
From 1924 to 1926 the family lived in Jackson Heights, New York. During this time, Haws’ daughters attended Camp Norchunkaw in Queens, New York. The family moved back south but returned in 1933 when Haws became the office manager for the Government Crop Loans program.
He was associated with the Haws-Harmon Lumber Company (Johnson City and Kingsport, Tennessee), the S.N. Haws Wholesale Lumber (Johnson City, Tennessee), the Walterboro Lumber Company (Walterboro, South Carolina), the Holston Lumber Corporation (Kingsport, Tennessee), and the Palmetto Corporation (of which he was principal stockholder).
In addition, he was on the board of directors for the First National Bank of Walterboro and the Walterboro Press & Standard newspaper.

Son | Bradford Dean DeVault+ (b. 10 May 1951, d. 16 February 1985) |
Cecile (Howell) DeVault reported to Marvel (Hillman) DeVault that her son William DeVault was born with smallpox.
Bill and Marvel were married in Alliance, Nebraska. They drove to Alliance with her parents, her sister Erma and his mom. They were married in the vestibule of the First Presbyterian Church. Marvel wore a wine-colored dress that she bought in Scottsbluff. They had saved some money and bought a console radio in Alliance. After the ceremony they all went to see a movie and then went back to her parents' farm for dinner. Marvel says that they still had the radio when they moved to Reseda.
After Bill and Marvel were married, they lived at the Anderson House apartments in Bridgeport, Nebraska. Marvel was working at the Farm Bureau in Bridgeport. She quit her job at the Farm Bureau and followed her sister, Erma, to Washington D.C. for a higher paying job at the Census Bureau.
Jobs were still hard to come by. At one point, Cecile, Sam and Bill were all out of work, all living on Marvel's salary. Bill and Sam even drove to Denver looking for work.
Bill moved to Garden Grove, California to go to Vultee Aircraft Assembly School. He went with a friend and they stayed with the friend's relatives.
Bill got a job at Lockheed. Marvel (reluctantly, because she was having such a good time in Washington) quit her job in Washington D.C. and moved to California. Bill and Marvel moved to a small guest house located at 418 1/2 Harvard Road, Burbank, California. Tracy was born there. Bill's mom, Cecile, came to California to stay a few weeks and ended up staying ten months. The small house that was crowded for two, now with four, was impossible to live in. The family moved up the street to 714 Harvard Road. (Cecile returned to Nebraska when Tracy was about 10 months old.) Bill's uncle Sam came out to California when Tracy was about 18 months old. Sam, Marvel and Tracy returned to Nebraska for a visit. Tracy got stuck under the train seat before the train left the station.
The family was living on Pass Ave., Burbank, California (a house they owned) when Bill was drafted. (Tracy was about two years old.) Marvel and Tracy moved to Mountain View (living in an apartment). Bill was stationed at Fort Ord.
WWII was over, but Bill was sent to Japan to serve with the Army of Occupation. In December of 1945, Marvel was pregnant with their second child and moved back to her folks farm in Bayard, Nebraska. Tracy had his tonsils taken out. Robin was born in Alliance, Nebraska.
Bill was discharged from the service and traveled to Nebraska to join his family for Christmas, '46. The family moved back to California and stayed with Carl and Gerry Cutshaw and their family for awhile.
The family moved to converted army barracks on Amhurst Drive, Burbank, California. (The barracks were located on grounds of McCambridge Park.)
In 1950 the family purchased the house at 7338 Garden Grove Ave., Reseda, California. Their third child, Bradford, was born here. Marvel was still living in this house in January, 2000.
Bill worked for Bendix Corporation for many years. He also worked for Sun Electric and Brock Engineering for awhile. All were involved in making hydraulic components or test equipment for hydraulic systems used in the aircraft industry. Between these jobs he tried his hand at selling new cars (Pontiacs) and selling real estate.
Marvel went to work for the Los Angeles City School System and worked as an Office Manager for many years. She worked at a number of schools including Cantara Street School, and Wonderland School.
