General Notes: Husband - Nelson P. Reed


He received his education in the public schools of Butler, Pennsylvania, and at Witherspoon Institute. When his father was elected county treasurer, Nelson P. entered the office as assistant, and at the same time took charge of the register and recorder's office for C. E. Anderson, the register and recorder, who was in the army as captain of Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers. In 1863 he was appointed book-keeper for the Pittsburg Dispatch, and subsequently business manager of that paper. He next purchased the Pittsburg Gazette, and later consolidated it with the Pittsburg Commercial, under the title, Commercial-Gazette, and he published that paper to the time of his death.
