General Notes: Husband - William E. Reed

---

He was reared on the old family homestead, and in all his life never lived beyond its boundaries. When a boy he attended the district schools, was advanced through the high school at New Castle, Pennsylvania, and completed his education in the State Normal School at Edinboro, Erie County, at the age of twenty years. When nineteen years old he taught his first term of school, and after his graduation from the Normal School he taught ten additional terms. He was a member of the school board of the township, and took a close and abiding interest in the cause of education. Educational ability ran in the family, as many of his uncles and cousins presided at the desk, and all his brothers and sisters with the exception of one taught in various parts of Lawrence County. This ability was doubtless inherited from their ancestor, Joseph Iddings, who was the first teacher in Lawrence County. Mr. Reed remained with his parents under the parental roof until he was thirty years of age, when he married, and settled down on his own farm, having purchased for this purpose a sixty-acre tract adjacent to the original homestead of his father. General farming claimed most of his energy and attention, but later in life he was interested in dairy-farming almost to the exclusion of all else.
He attend the Second United Presbyterian Church of New Castle. He was a Republican in his political tendencies, and served as school director and as auditor of the township. He was auditor of the Washington Insurance Co., in which he was an interested stockholder. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., and also of the Farmers' Alliance.
