The funeral took place at the large Dunkard church southwest of here on Wednesday afternoon, Elder Early officiationg. The remains were interred in the Fair cemetery." The same page of the newspaper also has two articles on Walkerton, Indiana indicating that "Mr. Seth Reed, of South Bend, was in town over Sunday" and "Mr. Reed, of Grand Rapids, Mich. leader of a cornet band of that place, was in town Wednesday". I do not know if they are related to each other or to John Reed, but Walkerton is only about 4 miles west of Lakeville, so they may all be related. These articles appear directly below an article indicating that "The remains of Mrs. William Rensberger, of Chicago, were brought here on Tuesday morning for internment. The funeral was held at the M. E. Church." I have included this article because she may be related to Lester Rensberger, who is one of John Reed's sons-in-law. The "South Bend Weekly Tribune" issue of October 24, 1896 reports that "Mrs. John Reed, who resided two and a half miles southwest of Lakeville, died in Lakeville at the home of her youngest daughter, Mrs. SLester Rensberger, on Oct. 17. The funeral services wer held in the German Baptist church, five miles northwest of LaPaz, Ind., Rev. Isaac Early officiating. Interment in the Fair cemetery. Mrs. Reed had been afflicted with asthma for several years, buat through all her suffering she remained the same kind, patient mother and sister. She was 68 years of age, and leaves one sister, nine children, 22 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, with many friends to mourn her loss. She was of a very affectionare nature, and was noted for the great kindness shown toward everyone she met, and many friends are griefved to think that they will see her kind, loving smile no more. Her husband preceeded her to the grave only six months ago."
