EV. WILLIS REEVES entered the ministry after
the separation from the Methodists. He labored in
the North Carolina and Virginia Conference in the early
days of the church. "Among the Christians in the
South," says Rev. W. B. Wellons, D.D., "the only man
that ever avowed himself a Unitarian in sentiment was
cut off from the church; I refer to Rev. Willis Reeves of
North Carolina." [77]
