His brother William owned the shop and according to the book Images of America New Brunswick, the shop was also located on Burnet Street. It says he opened it in the 1850s. I also have a picture of three men standing outside the blacksmith shop. John Reed died in 1890, I am not sure about William. Do you think it could have been the same blacksmith shop? Or were there several shops along the same road? Just curious-Thanks for your help! Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
