H. H. REED ANSWERS CALL
H. H. Reed, an old and highly respected resident of Blair for many years, passed quietly from this life on Wednesday morning, January 15, at his home on east South street. He had attained a fine old age, being eighty eight years, eight months and twenty days old at the time of his death. He had been a strong and vigorous man in his youth and even in old age was considered very rugged and hale. His passing was attributed to old age as he had no serious physical ailment.
Henry Harrison Reed was born in Ashland, Ohio, April 25, 1841. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 6th Iowa Infantry and served throughout the entire war. During his army career he served under both Grant and Sherman, and was one of the boys, who under Sherman, participated in that famous “March to the Sea”. He was also a participant in the “Grand Review” of the armies before President Lincoln at the close of the war.
In 1876 he came west and lived near Coffman, this county, for about four years, and later moved to a farm near Blair. In 1884 he moved to Blair where he engaged in the mercantile and Auctioneering business. For years he was considered the best farm sale auctioneer in this part of the state.
He is survived by two stepchildren, Mrs. Clark O’Hanlon and Frank Reed, who have always been very attentive and very kind to him. His wife passed away in 1917, and since her death he, with Frank as a companion, lived on in the old home and were very comfortable and happy together. Both Frank and Mr. and Mrs. O’Hanlon spared no pains in their kind attention of him, and his last days were made as comfortable as was possible.
He is also survived by one brother and one sister back in Ohio.
Mr. Reed was a prominent K. P. in his active years and took considerable interest in the order. He was also a member of the Congregational church for many years.
Funeral services will be held at ten o’clock Friday morning from the home at 203 east South street.
(veteran)
Note; K.P. is Knights of Pythias
