General Notes: Husband - James M. K. Reed
He received a liberal common-school education, and at the age of twenty years began teaching a district school. In the spring of 1852 he entered Pittsburgh Commercial College, from which he graduated. During the following summer he studied privately under the instruction of Robert Curry, Ph. D., principal of Canonsburg union schools, and then again taught school, con-tinuing until 1860, during the winter months. One summer he taught with Dr. Curry in West Manchester (now a part of Allegheny), and one summer was professor of penmanship in the New Brighton Female Seminary, established by Dr. Curry.
In his earlier years he taught school and later was an extensive farmer. For a quarter of a century he was a justice of the peace in Cross Creek Township, was frequently elected to local offices. In politics he was an old-time Democrat.
