General Notes: Husband - William E. Reed

---

He was educated in the public schools and the Indiana State Normal School, after completing his studies in the latter place he taught in schools for a period of one year. He was for two years following a student in Washington and Jefferson College, and in 1898 enlisted in Company H, Tenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, when war with Spain came. He was in the United States military service from May 22, 1898, until August 22, 1899, stationed in the Philippine Islands, and took part in the battle of Manila. For a large part of this time his company was engaged in almost daily skirmishes in the guerilla warfare that characterized the tactics of the natives.
Returning to Pennsylvania after the close of the war Mr. Reed became a shoe merchant at Wilkinsburg, where he remained for eight months, then pursued the same line of business in Duquesne for five years. After disposing of his interests in this business he was elected borough clerk, filling this office until April 1, 1914. While the incumbent of this position, which he held for eight years, in 1907, Mr. Reed began real estate and fire insurance dealings, at the same time devoting a part of his time to agricultural operations. He became representative of eight of the leading fire insurance companies, and had a wide and extensive handling of real estate. He was a Republican sympathizer, and fraternized with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
