General Notes: Husband - W. L. Reed

---

He was reared in much the usual manner of farmer boys. He manifested his patriotism in December, 1861, by enlisting in Company F, 103rd P. V. I., un­der Capt. M. B. McDowell, of Rimersburg, and after being sworn into the United States service at Camp Orr, Armstrong County, PA, was equipped at Washington, D. C., and joined the Army of the Potomac under Gen. McClellan. During that winter the regiment was in camp at Meridian Hill, and their first engagement was at Fair Oaks, VA. Mr. Reed was detailed to look after the sick at Yorktown, where he remained for some time, and was then sent to Carvers Hos­pital. On rejoining his regiment he went by boat to Washington, D. C., and while en route, John Borts and Robert C. Platt, of Company F, from Clarion county, died. From Suffolk, VA, our subject went with his command to Newbern, NC, where, under Gen. Foster, they destroyed the Goldsboro railroad, tearing up the rails and fighting the Rebels all along the road. During a hard fight at Kingston, December 14, 1862, his brother Hiram and Jackson Boyd were killed. The next engagement was at Whitehall, and at Goldsboro they met the enemy, driving them back and destroying the bridge and rail­road. The winter of 1863 was spent in camp at Newbern, and in the following spring the bri­gade to which Mr. Reed belonged was sent by boat to Plymouth, where they did guard duty, and also cut off the Rebel supplies by boat. Later they were on guard duty at Washington, were in the battle at Swift creek, and after go­ing to Newbern, they retraced their steps to Plymouth, where they remained for about a year. Mr. Reed, with his company, was captured at that place, and for four months was confined in Andersonville prison, whence he was transferred to Florence, remaining there the same length of time. In December, 1864, he was exchanged and sent to Charleston and later to Annapolis, where he was granted a furlough. After two months spent at home, he rejoined his regiment at Annapolis, but as his term of service had ex­pired, he was soon afterward discharged at Pittsburgh, and returned home with a war record of which he may be justly proud. Mr. Reed thereafter resided on a part of the old homestead, and in connection with its oper­ation he successfully engaged in lumbering.
