Reese family

"That family of Reeses were just vegetables. They went through the motions of living, but they didn't LIVE."

- Cornelia Bryant about the Reeses

The Reese family was a large and not entirely respected family who resided predominantly in Glen St. Mary, Four Winds, Prince Edward Island near the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.
