HENRY E. REED DIED AT ORD HOME

Henry E. Reed died at his home at Ord on Tuesday morning of this week. An affection of the heart, which had kept him in poor health for a year and more, was the cause of his demise.
Few men in northern Glenn county were better known, or more universally respected than was Mr. Reed. He was a native of California having been born in Sonoma county on July 8, 1864. When only a boy he came to what is now Glenn county and entered the employ of Martin A. Reager, one of the pioneer ranchers of this vicinity, the father of L. M., F. S. and George Reager of Orland. Young Reed remained for several years with the Reager family, and married one of the daughters, Dellia, who still survives. Using his wages for the purchase of stock and a bit of land now and then, Mr. Reed became a land owner and rancher himself, and won a place among the agriculturists of the county. About twenty years ago he bought a ranch in the river section, near Ord, and established there a home, one of the finest in that part of the county, and which continues to be a family homestead. Mr. Reed was always active in all good causes which came to him for influence. He was influential in educational matters and in religious circles, and was one of the prominent men in fraternal work, being associated with both the Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen. He was one of the organizers of the Ord Baptist church, and one of its chief supporters, having been a life long and consistent member of the denomination. He will be remembered as a man who was well worthy of the respect and confidence reposed in him by all who knew him.
Besides the widow Mr. Reed leaves four daughters and one son; Cordelia, Martina, Madge and Thomas, all living at home, and Mrs. Willis Whitsett of Orland. There are also two sisters, Mrs. Deny of Chico and Mrs. Johnson of Hamilton City, and one brother, L. M. Reed of Cloverdale.
The funeral was held from the home on Wednesday afternoon, the services being conducted by S. C. Davis, pastor of the Ord Baptist church and the home was more than filled with neighbors and old friends who came to pay their last respects to the one who was gone. The pallbearers were brethren from the Odd Fellows lodge. The remains were laid to rest in the Orland Odd Fellows cemetery. – Transcribed by E.
*Mrs. Devey is Henry's sister Mary Elizabeth Deering. Brother L. M. should read S. M. for Samuel Martin. Samuel used the spelling Read.
