General Notes: Husband - James Reeder

---

At one time with his brother-in-law, Mr. Taylor, he owned all of the land in the eastern and southeastern part of the village of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and to those two gentlemen belong the credit of laying out the streets and platting that part of the village. They also gave the land on which the Normal school was located, and it may be truthfully stated that had it not been for these public spirited citizens Edinboro would never have been the seat of that institution of learning. Throughout his entire life Mr. Reeder was a stanch advocate of education, and during a number of years served as a school director. He was not only a well-known agriculturist, but also built and operated the saw mill a mile south of the village, which is now owned by his son Isaac. He was prominently identified with the early history of the community, and during the War of 1812 he was at several different times one of the guards of the city of Erie.
