Surnames: Reed Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Th.2ADI/2155.1.1 Message Board Post: I grew up in DeKalb County, I remember the Ida Reed you mentioned as a child of William Reed. I recall she was the schoolteacher in Spencerville, DeKalb County, IN, and she never married, but was well liked. I can query my family for more information if you want to see what they remember of her... some of my sisters may have had her as a teacher. Regards, Mark
