On April 11th, the family of the late Henry Reaves of Conover hosted a patient appreciation day at Reaves Chiropractic Health Centre in Newton, where Reaves' son, Ray Reaves, continues his father's tradition of providing chiropractic care to the community. The occasion was the 60th anniversary of the year Henry Reaves opended his first chiropractic office in Newton. The turnout took the Reaves family by surprise: About 700 people showed up, so many guests that office personnel had to request permission from nearby businesses to use their parking lots. The story doesn't begin in Newton or in 1954, however; it starts in the small town of Hamlet in 1949, when Henry Reaves, then a 19-year-old service station attendant, considered being a chiropractor. He knew nothing about the field except that his best friend's brother was in the profession.
