General Notes: Husband - James L. Reed

---

He was born in the old log house upon the home farm in Highland township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and was reared amid scenes of frontier life. He attended the common schools, and aided in the arduous task of clearing and developing a new farm. In 1848 he began teaching in his native township, teaching two years in succession, and again in 1856 in Helen township, Clarion County, but he was principally employed in looking after his father's business interests. He engaged in building coal boats on the Clarion river for the Pittsburg mar-kets, and was also extensively interested in lum-bering and running on the rivers during his younger years. At one time he was connected with the oil trade in Clarion county, but the greater part of his time was devoted to ag-ricultural pursuits.
