I've "rescued" two old photographs of Bertha Flintom PICKERING both taken at Studios in Topeka, Kansas. One appears to have been taken in the 1880's and the other in the 1890's with Bertha appearing to be in her teens and 20's in the photographs. I'm hoping to locate someone from her family so that the photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this PICKERING family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

The Topeka Daily Capital Wednesday August 17, 1910 Judge Joseph Reed Dead. Well Known Topeka Pioneer Lawyer Died of Heart Trouble. Joseph REED, one of the character of the local bar, died yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, at his home, 1936 Kansas avenue, from neuralgia of the heart. He was 61 years of age. Seemingly as well as he had been at any time during the past year, Judge REED conducted the defense of a numerous number of clients in the police court Monday with his usual vigor and acumen. To a Capital reporter, following the conclusion of the court, he stated that he was tired with the day's work and not feeling particularly well. Judge REED's practice in Topeka was that of a criminal lawyer and among his brother attorneys was known for his thorough, conscientious work. Scarce a case of any prominence appeared in police court, but what Judge REED figured for the defense and he was greatly sought after among the clients who had business in this court. In fact he enjoyed what was a veritable monopoly on the practice in this city court and much to their own discomfiture, a bunch of young attorneys who endeavored to win away this clientage some five years ago, found that they had reckoned beyond their own strength in combatting "Joe" REED. For almost the entire past year Judge REED has been ailing, attack of paralysis threatening and this combined with a bad case of rheumatism which held him bedfast last April made inroads on his reserve strength impossible to repair. Though having the characteristics of a Southern colonel, Judge REED, was not from the South, but from the most northing of Northern states, Maine. He was born in Portland on December 10, 1848, his father being Joseph Reed and his mother Catherine Webster-Reed. Coming to Chicago, Judge REED, together with his brother, George W. REED, of this city, engaged in the newspaper work. Here he was married to Almire TOOPS in 1872. Six children resulted from the marriage, Corliss REED, of Chicago, Roscoe of Topeka, Mrs. W.T. DAWSON and Mrs. W.I. Paschal of Topeka and Joseph of Chicago being the surviving children. Judge REED came to Topeka in 1877 and together with his brother George REED published the Topeka State Journal from 1879 to 1889. From 1880 until 1889 he served as justice of the peace and police judge, and for the next four years served as commissioner of elections. For the years 1894 and 1895 he acted as deputy county attorney. Since that time he has been engaged in private practice in both district and police courts. Following the death of this first wife, Judge REED in 1890 was married to Mary Nina REID, who still survives him. One son, Thomas B. REED, aged 18, resulted from this union. "Well, he died like he said he wanted to die," said one of his intimate. "He often expressed the wish that he might pass away quietly and suddenly when his time came and his wish was gratified." Final arrangements for the funeral are waiting on word to be received from his brothers, John B. REED of Portland, Me., and Thomas F. REED, the famous Speaker of the House of Representatives, was a cousin. Judge REED was a member of the A.O.U.W. and Orient Lodge 51 of the Masons. It is probable that the funeral services will be held from the family residence 1936 Kansas avenue, Thursday afternoon.
