ANOTHER MINISTER FALLEN. It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of Rev. Carson P. Reed, who was one of the oldest ministers in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He was born Oct. 28, 1798, and died Dec. 2, 1872. In early life, he was impressed to enter the work of the ministry. For fifty years he was a faithful minister of Jesus Christ. He was highly esteemed both by the Church and by the community in which he lived. He was the father of the lamented Rev. W. M. Reed, who was for many years, the pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church in this city. It was often the case that the father and the son were engaged in laboring together in the same meeting. In the death of Father Reed the Church has sustained a great loss. For him to live was Christ, to die was gain. He is now rejoicing in the welcome plaudit, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter then into the joys of they Lord."
Rev. Carson Pate Reed was the son of John and Margaret Carson Reed of NC and Giles County TN. He married Tranquilla Tyrold Jenkins and had eleven children with her. They were: Martha Jane Reed Mitchell, Rev. Wiley Martin Reed, Mary Hasten Reed Gordon, Clara Lindley Reed Buford White, Celestia Reed Jones, Victoria V. Reed, Jesse Jenkins Reed, Theodocia F. "Docia" Reed Baugh, Carson Powers Reed, and Cora Belle Reed Jones.
