Reece/Reese Scholl

A couple of comments: Is it Reece or Reese? Everything, with the exception of his tombstone spells it with a "c". From the death certificate we know he was single and a farmer. He died from a fracture of the spine. While the writing is a little tough to read it appears to say he fell from a load of hay onto his head. The dates are also hard to make out but it appears he did live for a few days after the accident.

Also of interest is the last name of the undertaker (Maupin). Reece had a sister who married a Maupin (See earlier post). Perhaps further research will reveal a connection.
