Gene C. Reed

  Gene C. Reed of Rt. 5, Many, died on Saturday, Jan. 14, at 1
p.m., in the Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa Okla. He was 57.

  Brother Reed, as he was lovingly known by the congregation of
the Pendleton Assembly of God Church, had resided in the lake
area for the past five years. He retired as a building contractor
in Tulsa before he and his wife moved to the lake.

  Interested in the lake, Brother Reed built Big Bass Trailer
Park, and then sold it. He was a prominent personality in the
lake area.

  Brother Reed served as song leader, and choir director of the
Pendleton Church. He constantly gave donations to keep the
mission programs stable.

  Brother Reed enjoyed young people of all ages. His mission in
life was to guide everyone toward Christianity. He did this by
living a good life, and using his life as an example to others.

  Ailing for some time, Brother Reed succumbed, following and
extended illness.

  He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Bonnie Reed of Tulsa, two
daughters, Mrs. Carolyn Sue Gaines of Sand Springs, Okla., and
Mrs. Ona Faye Bartlett of McComb, Delaware, one son, the Rev.
Lawrence D. Reed of Alexandria, and nine grandchildren.

  Funeral services were held in the Skyview Assembly of God Church
in Sand Springs, Okla. The Rev. C. E. Bell, pastor of Pendleton
Assembly of God Church, officiated. He was assisted by Rev. J. W.
Rich, and the Rev. J. W. Hocker. Burial was in the Sand Springs
Cemetery.

  A Memorial Service, in memory of Brother Reed, will be held on
Sunday, Jan. 29, at 3 p.m., at the Pendleton Church. The same
sermon that was preached at Bro. Reed's funeral, will be repeated
by Rev. Bell for the benefit of friends and loved ones in the
area. Everyone is welcome to attend this special service.
