E.D. Reed
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, pg 726

E.D. Reed, proprietor of Reed's Meat Market in Globe is
a native of Arizona, born at Fort McDowell in 1878. He
is a son of C.C. and Hannah Reed, the former of whom
crossed the plains to this state in 1874 and settled
eighty miles north of Phoenix, where he accepted a
contract to furnish meet to the government for a period
of four years. He afterward turned his attention to
ranching and stock raising and finally opened a retail
butcher shop at the Peck mining camp, thirty-five miles
beyond Prescott. This enterprise he conducted for five
years, after which he went to Phoenix and there
established the Alfalfa Meat Market, which he afterward
sold, the concern being still in operation under the
name of Triblet and Sons. After he disposed of the
store the father engaged in the stock business on an
extensive scale until his retirement in 1908. He and
his wife are the parents of four children.

E.D. Reed acquired his education in the public schools
of Phoenix and completed a course in business college.
At nineteen he opened a butcher shop in Globe and built
up a large and profitable business which he continued
until 1900. That year he went to Bisbee where he
continued in the butcher business for five years.
At that time he returned to Globe and opened here
Reed's Meat Market of which he has since been
proprietor. He also conducts a large slaughter
house and a branch shop at Miami.

In 1898 Mr. Reed was married to Miss Fannie A. Dewey, a
native of Illinois and a daughter of Thomas Dewey who
left that state for Oklahoma in 1887 and who has since
made his home there.
