ELI REED.

   Eli Reed, who was for many years a resident of Haw Creek township,
Bartholomew county, Indiana, was born in Stokes (now Forsyth) county, North
Carolina, April 1, 1808. He was the son of Jacob and Anna Maria Reed, who were
also natives of the same county and was married there to Catharine Snider,
August 14, 1831. She was born in Stokes county, North Carolina, September 12,
1804, and was the daughter of John and Hannah Snider. On the 4th day of
November, 1831, they arrived at the town of Hope, Bartholomew county, Indiana,
and ten days later located on the land where Mr. Reed afterward resided for so
many years. His life occupation was farming. He formerly, owned four hundred
acres of land, but subsequently gave the greater part of this to his children.
He and his wife became the parents of eight children, namely: Cornelius D., Mary
Ann H., Clarinda C., Susan, William H., Lovina L., Nancy C. and Benjamin E. The
subject and his wife celebrated their golden wedding August 14, 1881, upon which
occasion over three hundred of their relatives and friends gathered and gave
them their congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Reed were faithful and consistent
members of the Moravian church, and were always found on the right side of every
moral issue.
