General Notes: Husband - Alexander R. Reed

---

He was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, and lived there until 1849, when his father moved his family to Pittsburgh. Alex worked for his brothers and father as a jewelry, clock and instrument maker. Later he gave up this work and became a commercial traveler, following this business until 1859 when he went into the oil business.
In 1861 he recruited a company of soldiers, drilling them in old City Hall, Market street, Pittsburgh, at the same time using City Hall over the market, as a living quarters until Camp Wilkins was formed and the company moved there as a part of the 77th Regiment under Col. F. S. Stumbaugh. Mr. Reed was made Captain of Company E. and the Regiment was attached to General James F. Negley's Brigade. The Brigade was sent to Gen. Buell's Division of the Union army in Kentucky. Shortly after the arrival of the regiment in Kentucky, it was transferred to Gen. Wood's Brigade and continued as a part of that organization for the remainder of its enlistment. At the expiration of his army service, Mr. Reed returned to his business in the oil fields.
