ORLAND PIONEER IS CALLED BY DEATH
Ebenezer Reed, pioneer of the Orland country, passed away at the home of his son, Martin, in Cloverdale, last Thursday afternoon, July 16th. Mr. Reed had been in poor health for several months and his death was due to his advanced years.
A native of Missouri, Mr. Reed came to California with his father when only twelve-years of age. For several years he worked in the mines located at Bidwell Bar. Later he farmed in the Dixon country, and fifty years ago came to the Orland country where he spent the rest of his life, engaging in farming until fifteen or twenty years ago when he retired and owned a small place on Yolo street where he lived.
Mr. Reed was eighty-six at the time of his death. He is survived by one son, Martin Read, and four step-children: Henry Reed of Glenn, Geo. Read of Chico, Mrs. Deering of Chico and Mrs. James Johnson of Hamilton City. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at the Methodist church in Orland, Rev. Mitchell conducting the services. Interment was in the Odd Fellows' cemetery.

EBENEZER REED DEAD
Ebenezer Reed died at the home of his son in Cloverdale on last Thursday evening, July 16th. He had eaten his supper as usual, and lay down on a couch for a time before going to bed. Shortly thereafter, upon attempting to rouse him, it was found that he had quietly passed away.
Mr. Reed was one of the oldest residents of Orland. Born in Missouri on June 12, 1840, he came to California with his parents when only twelve years of age. As a boy and young man he was engaged in mining and farming, and in 1852, seventy-three years ago, Mr. Reed came to Orland, and during all the years since, until within a few weeks of his death, he made this town his home. He was a life-long and consistent member of the Methodist church, and was always a supporter of every good cause. No man stood higher in the estimation of those who had known him all their lives than did Ebenezer Reed. His kindly face and presence will be missed by many and he will be remembered by all with feelings of tender friendship.
His wife passed away many years ago. He is survived by one son, Martin Reed, of Cloverdale, and the following stepchildren: George Reed, Henry Reed, of Ord; Mrs. Johnson of Hamilton City and Mrs. Deering of Chico.
The remains were brought from Cloverdale to Orland and the funeral was held from the Methodist church on Saturday afternoon. Rev. Thomas Mitchell conducted the services, which were attended by a large congregation of old neighbors and friends. Interment took place at the Odd Fellows cemetery. - Transcribed by E.
