General Notes: Husband - Lewis Washington Reed
He was born in Raccoon township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and after attending the public schools of New Sheffield, took an academic course at Woodlawn Academy. He then became assistant editor of the "Beaver Star," and while engaged in that capacity, also studied law under the preceptorship of Hon. J. M. Buchanan. He was admitted to the bar February 4, 1889, and, opening an office in Beaver, he engaged in the practice of his profession for two years. At the close of that time, he became associated with J. M. Buchanan and continued to be a law partner of that noted attorney for five years. On account of failing health, Mr. Reed was obliged to discontinue his professional duties, having already had several hemorrhages. Although reluctant to do so, he gave up his practice, intending to make his home in a warmer climate, but after a few months of exercise in the open air, his health rapidly improved, and he was able to resume his work. His office was now located in the Buchanan Block, at rooms 214 and 216.
Mr. Reed was secretary and a stockholder of the Star Publishing Co., a director of the Farmer's National Bank of Beaver Falls, and served as school director of the borough for three years. He was appointed post-master of Beaver, February 8, 1896, and immediately appointed Miss Lizzie J. Hepting, assistant, and Miss Martha H. Morgan as clerk.
He built a fine modern residence, in 1890, on Beaver street. In 1892, he also built a residence for his mother on Laura street, and in addition to these, he owned two attractive tenement houses. Like his forefathers, he was an active member of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Reed was also a member of the Masonic fraternity.
