BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, JAN. 11 1901 A letter from Lewis, Vigo county, to the MAIL says: "Uncle George Reed, who died on Thursday morning, the 7th inst., after lingering some weeks, was about 82 years of age, had been raised near Bedford, close to the old Robert Daughtery cave. He was foreman on Samuel Irwin's farm on White river 50 years ago. He died on his farm on Eel river, half way between Lewis and Clay City, where he owned about 800 acres of rich bottom, corn land, besides having considerably money at interest. He was a brother of John Reed, a former prosperous merchant of Bedford, and has several nieces and nephews living at Bedford. He lived all his life a bachelor, and had a family living with him by the name of Parks." ****** Mrs. Wm. Bass left Tuesday for Clay City, Ill.

Mr. Reed was 82 years of age, was a brother of John Reed, one Bedford's old time merchants located on the north side of the square, who died a number of years ago; and at one time lived in this city, and will be remembered by the old citizens. ********* JAN. 18, 1901 Moses E. and W.
