Event Notes Note (1) Age at marriage would put birth in Nov 1842, but 1900 Census states Mar 1843. Note (2) In household with son John B. Reed. He did not appear in the 1930 Census. We have not found a death record or burial location for him or for his wife. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Apr 1865, but death record shows it as May 22 1864. Note (4) In 1920, location specified as Block House. Note (5) Date of death given in death record as Apr 12 1916. But her obituary in the "West Union Record" of Thursday, April 13 1916, states that she "died at her home in Smithton Tuesday morning, April 11, at 3:30 o'clock."
