You might try to contact a james & Sally Reeder in Ft Smith. They were my in-laws for 20 years and might know other Reeder family members in the area. Its worth a try. Ironically I married a Reeder and my name is "Cheryl" and I'm also 45 years old. Kinda weird, I was just searching my name on Google and found your message. Never been to TX, always wanted to make the trip, but divorced now and probably won't. Best of luck on your search.
