General Notes: Husband - Rev. Alexander Reed


He graduated from Washington College in 1851, and Western Theological Seminary in 1856. He was a Presbyterian minister, an eloquent and attractive preacher of the Gospel. Princeton College conferred the degree of D.D. on Dr. Reed in 1865. His first charge was Octorara, one of the long-established churches of the Presbytery of Chester, from 1856 to 1864. From there he went to the Central Church of Philadelphia, and remained until 1873. He then went to the South Church of Brooklyn, and resigned this charge on account of ill health. He then went to Europe with his family for a year (having been abroad before for the summer of 1869), and when he returned from Europe he became pastor of the Central Church of Denver, Colorado, where he lived until he died.
