On last Tuesday morning occurred the death of Alexander Reed. His death was very sudden and was not
preceded by any illness. He had been troubled with attacks of heart trouble
for several years and it was one of these attacks that caused his sudden death.
It was only a few weeks ago that he returned to Wray after quite an extended
visit in the East.
Mr. Reed was born in Indiana in 1833. He united
with the Methodist church when just a small boy. When he was twenty-one
years of age he moved to Webster county, Iowa, where he homesteaded land
and lived until eight years ago, when he came to Colorado.
He was married twice and his first wife died in 1870. His second
wife died in 1905. Mr. Reed was the father of fourteen children,
ten of whom are still living: Wiley Reed, of Creston, Iowa:
Mrs. Harlan and Mrs. Bottonfielild, both of Atlanta, Georgia;
Mrs. Wissler, of Jewell, Iowa: Alonzo ane Winfield Reed, of South Dakota:
Isaac and Will Reed and Mrs. B. E. Billingsworth, of Wray: and Frank Reed
of Omaha, Nebraska.
"He was married to Melinda Long. To this union were born six children:
Mesdames L. S. Bottonfield and G. W. Harlan of Atlanta, Georgia;
W. L. Reed of Creston, Iowa : Mrs. H. L. Whissler of Jewell, Iowa;
and Isaac Reed and Mrs. D. E. Hollingsworth of Wray. In 1872, his wife died and
two years later he married Columbia Myers. To this union four sons were born:
Will Reed of Wray: Alonzo and Winfield Reed of Selma, South Dakota; and
Frank Keed of Omaha, Nebraska. "
Funeral services were held Tuesday at the Isaac Reed home. The
services were conducted by Rev. A. W. Rice, pastor of the Methodist
church. On Tuesday evening Isaac Reed, Mrs. B. E. Hollingsworth, and
Will Keed and wife accompanied the body to Webster county, Iowa,
where interment will be made.
Mr. Reed had many friends in Wray who extend their sympathy to the mourning
ones at this time."
1917 "Alex Reed of Omaha, who was here visiting his brothers,
Isaac and Will Reed, and his sister, Mrs. B. E. Hollingsworth,
and also looking after business matters, left Friday for his home.
