General Notes: Husband - Isaac Robbins Reeder

---

Edinboro, Erie Co, PA

He attended first the schools of Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and later the old academy at Waterford in Erie County. In the year of 1853 he entered upon his business career as a farmer and lumberman, he having assumed control then of the old saw mill which his father had built. At one time the Reeder family owned six hundred acres of land, but later only three-quarters of this once large estate was in their name, this forming a part of Isaac Reeder's mill yard. In about 1865 and in partnership with Isaac R. and Jobe Taylor he bought the Burlingham pump manufactory at Edinboro and engaged in the making of wooden pumps, following that occupation for many years, and after the death of one of the partners, Jobe Taylor, Dr. I. N. Taylor became interested in the firm. This business was successfully managed and conducted by Mr. Reeder, with the exception of the one year which he spent in the west, until it was destroyed by fire. With his youngest brother he in 1858 sailed from New York City around the Horn to Crescent City, Oregon, a journey of one hundred and thirty-three days, and after spending the summer on the Rogue river they returned via the Isthmus of Panama.
Mr. Reeder served his city as a burgess, councilman and assessor, and he was one of the organizers of the Edinboro Savings Bank and one of its first directors. He was later the president of the bank. In 1862 he was made one of the directors of the Normal School, holding that office at different times for thirty-seven years, and became the president of the board. As did his father before, he took an active and helpful interest in the cause of education.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
