Very interesting.   There was station named Cando in 1929 just north 
of Circleville.  I have been unable to locate any miles for this 
point. Could this be the old name for Ritz?

A 1909 N&W PTT showed Reeses as 4 miles from Lockbourne and 2 miles 
to Valley Xing.  Below is a list of these stations.
