General Notes: Husband - Haines H. Reed

---

He was educated in the common and high school of Cross Creek and continued his studies until he was nineteen years of age, when he went to Pittsburgh and for a time was engaged there and in the vicinity as a clerk. He returned to the farm for a season and then decided to visit the far West, extending his journey to California. He remained there for two years, working as an electrician and continued work in the same line after coming as far east as Colorado, from which state he later returned to Pennsylvania. When he next left Washington County it was to engage in the gas fitting business for a time, at Andover, Ohio. In 1905 he came back to Cross Creek Township and became manager of the branch store at Rea Station for the firm of I. M. Reed & Son, of Cross Creek village and also was appointed U. S. rural mail carrier. In October, 1908, he purchased the store he had formerly been operating for the Reed firm, and in November following he was appointed postmaster and subsequently assumed the duties of ticket and freight agent for the Wabash Railroad. In politics he considered himself an independent, although he favored the principles of old Democracy in which his father reared him. He and his wife were members of Mt. Prospect Presbyterian Church.
