General Notes: Husband - William Reed


After his marriage he made his home on the old Peter Miller farm in Jefferson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, later selling this property and purchasing the Lowry farm of one hundred and sixty-seven acres, located near his former home. From this latter place he moved to Wilson Station, and there engaged in real estate dealing until 1901, in which year he moved to Coal Valley. His home in this place was situated upon an eminence overlooking the Monongahela river, affording a wide view of the upper and lower valley. This beautiful home, in which he passed his later years, was subsequently occupied by his children, Harry, Samuel, Matthew, Blanche and Mary. Mr. Reed was active in real estate dealings until his death, his operations of generous dimensions and successful in result. With his wife he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was a loyal adherent to Republican principles. In local public affairs he played a prominent part, for twenty-three years serving as a school director in Jefferson township.
William Reed was for three and one-half years a soldier in Company C, One Hundred and Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and participated in numerous important campaigns, his regiment being engaged in some of the hardest fought battles of the war between the states.
