John Walter Reed was my uncle on my mothers side. John was killed at IMC Fertilizer Plant in Pulaski in a work-related accident while working with my father, Frank Garner.

REED, John Jr. The Pulaski (TN) Citizen 19 Apr 1939
John Reed, Jr., died Sunday night in a Nashville Hospital, as a result of a fall at the Phosphate Plant at Wales, where he has been working for several months.
Friday afternoon, Mr. Reed was up on a platform, some twenty or twenty-five feet high, when in some way he missed his step and fell, striking the back of his head on the concrete pavement, under the platform. Mr. Reed's neck was broken.
After first aid, when the seriousness of the accident was realized, he was rushed to Nashville for treatment, in an effort to save his life. But nothing could be done for him, and, as stated above, he died Sunday night.
Mr. Reed was a young man, about twenty years of age, and had been working at the phosphate plant about four or five months. And was liked by those with whom he came in contact.
