Served as a private in Co. E, 46th Iowa Infantry
Entered Service 05-23-1864 from Davenport, Iowa, Discharged 09-23-1864 at Davenport, Iowa,
Obituary:
Quite impressive were the funeral services Sunday afternoon for Martin V. Reed, one of our honored old soldiers and a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1874, who passed away Saturday, at his home 800 N. 17th St., at the age of over 87 years.
The services at Presbyterian church were in charge of his pastor, A. B. Thutt, his Masonic brethren being present, having marched there from the hall and conducted the usual Masonic services at the grave under the leadership of Past Master W.S. Day. The pallbearers were R. J. McCurdy, T. J. Thompson, Clay Swishers, A. F. Driftmier, Fred Fisher and C. E. Bradley.
Martin V. [an Buren] Reed was born June 20th, 1844, in Franklin County, Pa., being son of John A. and Susan Secrist Reed, who were farmers. Of the ten children Mart is the last to go. At the age of 15 he came to Cedar Rapids, Ia., being only 18 when he enlisted in the Civil War as Pvt., Co. E, 46th Iowa. In 1874 he was married to Miss Della Peddicord, who preceded him to the better world in 1910. They had six children, Mrs. Blanche Brown of Clarinda, Mrs. George Munro of Colorado Springs, Mrs. I. T. Bode of Ames, Mrs. Frizine of Cincinnati, F. W. Reed of Los Angeles and the daughter, Margaret Reed, of Clarinda, who has been making a home for her father.
Mr. Reed in earlier days was a farmer, afterward engaging in business.
A city election would hardly have been complete in recent years, without Mart Reed on the election board and for 17 years he has guarded the outer door of Nodaway Lodge No. 140 A. F. & A. M. as the faithful tyler.
