The Fair Dealer, Ottawa, Illinois, Friday, October 14, 1904
Mrs. Henry Stead, mother of Hon. William H. Stead, Republican candidate for 
Attorney General, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.  S. S. Thompson in 
Marseilles, on Thursday of last week.  The funeral took place Saturday 
afternoon at Marseilles.  Mrs. Stead's maiden name was Sarah E. Reed.  She was 
born in Easton, Washington county, New York, August 19, 1832.  She was married 
to Henry Stead in 1851.  The couple came to La Salle county, Ill., in 1856, 
and located on a farm in Grand Rapids township, south of Marseilles.  With the 
exception of residing in Ottawa, while their children were being educated, Mr. 
and Mrs. Stead lived on a farm until about ten years ago, when they moved to 
Marseilles.  Her husband, one daughter and three sons survive her.  Mrs. Henry 
Stead was a woman of high character and led a life of usefulness.
