DEATH SUDDEN
Ex-Mayor Reed Died Last Night,
WAS RETURNING FROM CAUCUS
When He Was Attacked by Fatal Heart Disease
HIS LONG BUSINESS CAREER
During His City Administration He was Particularly Interested in the Fire Department.
(ARTIST'S SKETCH entitled CHARLES G. REED)
The sudden death of ex-Mayor Charles Gardner Reed, which occurred a few minutes before 9 o'clock last evening, while he was in conversation with Samuel R. Heywood, at the corner of Belmont and Orchard streets, though not
wholly unexpected, was nevertheless a shock to his family and many business and political associates.
Mr. Reed was returning from the Republican caucus held in Burrwood hall ward 2. Mr. Heywood had accompanied him from the hall, and at the junction of the streets mentioned with scarcely any warning Mr. Reed staggered and fell. William P. Allen, a personal friend, who chanced to be passing at the time, assisted by Mr. Heywood, carried Mr. Reed into the home of James Quigley, 46 Belmont street. Medical aid was immediately summoned but Mr. Reed died before Dr. P. O. Comey arrived.
Mr. Reed's family was notified, and the body was taken to Mr. Reed's home. The funeral will occur Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, from Plymouth church.
Ex-Mayor Reed was Worcester's chief executive in 1884 and 1885. He had been subject to heart disease for several years and four weeks ago was prostrated by a severe attack. It is thought that the unusual heat and oppressive atmosphere in Burrwood hall last evening hastened his death.
He had a long business career in Worcester and was a good representative of the old New England stock. He believe that there was a great power and force in legitimate self-effort, and faithfully performed all his undertakings. By patience, frugality and industry he fitted himself for responsible positions in the city and community. He was a man of decided opinions, who had the courage to maintain any position he took.
Mr. Reed was the 21st mayor of Worcester, succeeding Samuel E. Hildreth. He was born in North Brookfield April 22, 1835, and became a resident of Worcester in 1849. He was a self-made man and his early struggles developed a sturdy manhood and emphasized the traits of competence that afterwards ===== for him many friends.
He first worked for a wheel factory and later manufactured and sold carriage material. He gradually extended his business and his Worcester establishment is now at 143 and 149 Front street, with branches in Boston and Mt. Airey, N. C. During his administration in Worcester, the Waldo police station was opened, and Amos Atkinson was appointed chief of police. He was an alderman from ward 2 in 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1883, and a member of the common council in 1869, 1870, 1871, and 1872 from ward 6, and was president of the council in 1870, 1871, and 1872. He succeeded Burton W. Potter as chairman of the grade crossings commission and that body is now called the Reed commission.
He had much to do with the reorganization of the fire department and was instrumental in securing Tatnuck brook
as a source of additional water supply. Mr. Reed was a 33 degree Mason and was a life member of Morning Star Lodge. He also belonged to the Worcester Congregational Club and the Society of Antiquity.
Mr. Reed was married three times. His last wife, who survives him was Miss Ann S. Whitcomb, a niece of Mrs. John B. Gough, wife of the well-known temperance advocate. Mr. Reed has two sons, Karl B. Reed, graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Frank Reed who lives in Boston.
