General Notes: Husband - Samuel Reed

---

He was reared on the home farm, received his education in the local schools, and during his youth learned the manufacture of charcoal. In December, 1861, he began driving a team for the government at Camp Gaully, in West Virginia, and was thus employed for nine months. Later he was a resident of Ohio, and on November 1, 1864, enlisted in the 67th O. V. I. For a time he was under Gen. Butler with the Army of the James; he participated in the battle of Fort Gregg, April 2, 1865, when he was wounded in the elbow of the left arm. At the hospital the surgeon said the limb would have to be amputated, but Mr. Reed refused to have the operation performed. He remained in the hospital at Houston Cross Roads from April 6 until June 18, when he was honorably discharged and returned to Ohio. In 1867, however, he located on the old homestead in Porter township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. The farm comprised fifty-eight acres, which was under a high state of cultivation and well improved.
Mr. Reed was a charter member of Capt. Case Post, No. 239, G. A. R., of Piollett, Clarion County, in which he filled all the chairs. For five years he served as supervisor of Porter township with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents.
