Belding Banner-News, 29 Sep 1927

Former Local Woman Died In Charlotte

The remains of Mrs. Clark P. Reed aged 75 years, who died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Byron F. Brown, in Charlotte, Saturday, were brought to this city
and taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sumner H. Wilson, from where the
funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, Rev. H.S. Ellis,
pastor of the Congregational church, officiating and burial was in River Ridge
cemetery.

Mrs. Reed had been a resident of this city for more than 20 years and had
endeared herself to all those who had made her acquaintance.

An obituary of her passing is as follows:

Jane Ann Miller was born in Sandusky, Ohio, September 30, 1852, passed from this
life September 24, 1927.  She was married January 1st, 1868 to Clark Parshall
Reed, who died in 1917.  Two sons and four daughters were born to this union and
all are living.  She had been a member of the church for many years, uniting
with the local Congregational church when she and her husband moved to Belding
in 1906 to be near their children.

Thus we chronicle the outstanding events in the life of this good woman, but in
between we vision the eager and happy days of childhood, young womanhood and on
into married life, the coming of children, grand children and then great
grandchildren, with all the attendant sunshine and shadows of the average life.
 Together with her chosen mate she had also pioneered in the earlier Dakota days
some 40 years ago.  But through all the ups and downs she was always the same
sweet character we all have known her.  In later years since the loss of her
husband her life has been taken up with interest in her children and their
growing families.  Three weeks ago she went to Charlotte to be with her daughter
for the winter and it was there that her long and useful life came to an end. 
All of her sons and daughters were able to visit her during her last illness.

And so she has come to the end of the journey, surrounded by those she loved and
in whom her whole life interest was centered.  We shall miss her, yes.  But we
are happy in the rest and peace that have come to her at the end of life’s
voyage now that she has gone to join her beloved consort.
