General Notes: Husband - Luther M. Reed

---

Being the youngest child, it fell to his lot to remain at home with his father, and carry on the farm, after the latter was stricken with apoplexy, when Luther was still only a youth. He was his father's right-hand man, caring for his personal wants, during the years he lingered, as well as taking upon himself the whole management of the farm. He was the only one of his father's children who was not a school-teacher, but it was not because of lack of ability, but because his duty called him into other fields of activity. His school days ceased at the age of sixteen years, a year after his father's affliction. All his life was spent on the homestead, which he owned and operated with the exception of a third of a year that he spent in the West, near the city of Galesburg, Illinois. The portion of the homestead that fell to Luther comprised sixty-three acres of as fine land as any within the boundaries of Lawrence County; it was peculiarly adapted to fruit-raising, and the orchard planted by his grandfather, William Reed, never failed of a plentiful harvest.
He was a Republican in his politics, and served on the election board. He was a charter member of New Castle Lodge, No. 404, Knights of Pythias.
