GEORGE REED, PIONEER, DEAD.
Born in Canada and Came Overland With an Ox Team Caravan From Illinois – Father of Fourteen Children, Among Whom Were Triplets – Leaves Much Realty
George Reed, a California pioneer, died yesterday at the family home, No. 1152 Fedora street, Pico Heights, of heart disease, from which he had suffered for ten years. Mr. Reed was 73, and had been a resident of California since 1850. Twenty-three years of this period he had spent in Los Angeles and vicinity.
A native of Canada, Mr. Reed when a young man went to Illinois, and after several years there became enthused with the idea of seeking gold in California. He joined a caravan in 1850, crossed the plains with an ox team, and came to Marysville. He followed mining for several years, and finally located in Marysville, where he met and married Miss Sarah E. Tomer, in 1854. To them were born fourteen children, among them being triplets.
There were seven sons and seven daughters. The widow and five sons and five daughters survive him. The children are Mrs. W. P. Lawrey, No. 1033 Buena Vista street; Mrs. E. A. Lindquist, No. 514 East Thirty-third street; Mrs. C. N. Tufts, San Diego; Miss Esther Reed, Miss Edith Reed, Dan L. Reed, Edward T. Reed, Dennis W. Reed, No. 1327 West Twenty-first street; R. W. Reed, Redondo, and Marion S. Reed, Union avenue and Pico street.
For several years the Reed family resided on a farm near Compton, and for a long period their home was on the Reed ranch on West Pico street, the property now held by the Rosemary Gun Club. Mr. Reed had extensive real estate holdings; but about a year ago decided to make his home on Fedora street, at which place his death occurred.
The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the family residence, and will be conducted by Rev. C. Harris of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Pioneers will act as pallbearers. The interment will be in Rosedale Cemetery.
