Legend Jim Reeves’ Dog is Buried With Him[Video]

The legendary Jim Reeves is buried off Hwy. 79 near Carthage, and his dog is buried with him. That was the early morning trivia question this morning on the KWKH Morning Show, am 1130 - the Home of  the Legends.

It turns out Jim from Atlanta, Texas,  correctly answered that Jim Reeves dog was a Collie named Cheyenne.   Reeves' best friend is buried at the Jim Reeves Memorial where there's a statue of the entertainer, who died at the height of his popularity in a plane crash in 1964.

His private single engine plane went down during a thunderstorm about 10 miles south of  Nashville on July 31, 1964.   Reeves and his piano player-road manager,  Dean Manuel were the only ones aboard.  They were returning to their homes in Nashville from a business trip in Batesville, Arkansas.

Two funerals were held.  One in Nashville for the music industry and Reeve's funeral in Carthage, Texas, for his family.  Check out Jim's niece's website to get some interesting rare facts and pictures.
