Biography

Felix Alexander Reeve was born in Cocke County, Tennessee on September 4, 1836. He studied law, was admitted to the bar, and started to practice in 1861.[1]

During the Civil War Reeve remained loyal to the Union and raised the 8th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which he commanded with the rank of Colonel. Reeve fought in several actions in Tennessee and Georgia before resigning his commission in 1864[2][3][4][5][6]

After the war Reeve practiced law, first in Cocke County and later in Knoxville.[7]

In 1880 Reeve moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the United States Department of the Treasury. He served in several positions, and for most of his government career was Assistant Solicitor of the Treasury.[8]

From 1893 to 1897 Reeve served as Solicitor of the Treasury.[9][10]

After serving as Solicitor, Reeve returned to the position of Assistant Solicitor.[11]

In 1908 Reeve played a role in the campaign for President when a 1906 letter from Grover Cleveland to Reeve, in which Cleveland disparaged Democratic nominee William Jennings Bryan, was made public.[12][13]

Reeve died in Washington, D.C. on November 15, 1920.[14][15] He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 3, Site 1716.[16]
