CHARLES A. REED, B. S., M. D.
A representative of one of the oldest and most influential families in America
is Dr. Charles A. Reed, a prominent physician and surgeon of Minneapolis. The
progenitor of the Reed family in America was William Reed, who came from England
in 1635 and located at Weymouth, Massachusetts. Dr. Reed's grandfather, Anthony
Reed, was the last tithingman in New England. Dr. Reed's parents were William B.
and Amanda (Bunnell) Reed, the former of whom died in 1921, at the age of
eighty-seven years, and the mother is still living.
Charles A. Reed was born in Hastings, this state, and received his early
education in the high school there. Subsequently he enrolled in the University
of Minnesota and was graduated from that institution in 1895, with the B. S.
degree. He then took up the study of medicine in the same institution and
received his M. D. degree with the class of 1898. For one year he was an interne
in St. Joseph's Hospital at St. Paul and then went to Kalispell, Montana, as
surgeon for the Great Northern Railway, remaining there three years. At the
termination of that time he went abroad and studied his profession in Berlin,
Germany, for a year. Returning to the United States, he spent two years as house
surgeon in the Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled Chil­dren and came to
Minneapolis in 1906, where he has since resided. Since returning to America he
has devoted his entire time to orthopedic surgery and he became a member of the
Nicollet clinic upon its organization. He is still a member of that body and
active at all clinics. For years Dr. Reed has been associate professor of
orthopedics in the University of Minnesota and for several years he has been
head of the orthopedic department of the general hospital. He has won an
enviable reputation for himself throughout the state and the United States and
the medical profession of Minneapolis is indeed proud of him.
Dr. C. A. Reed served in Army Base Hospital No. 26, Minnesota unit; entered
active service December 11, 1917, and remained until spring of 1919, stationed
most of this time at Alleray, France, acting as orthopedic consultant most of
the time while at Alleray Centre. Demobilized at Fort Dodge, May 4, 1919.
On the llth of September, 1916, Dr. Reed was united in marriage to Mrs. June
Dickey, nee Clarke. Mrs. Reed is a woman of culture and refinement and she is
socially prominent.
Along strictly professional lines the Doctor holds membership in the Hennepin
County Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the American
College of Surgeons. Socially he is identified with the Minneapolis, Minneapolis
Athletic, Minikahda, Lafayette, Lincoln and Automobile Clubs. Although the
greater part of his time is devoted to his professional interests Dr. Reed is
ever cognizant of the duties and responsibilities, as well as the privileges of
citizenship and to that end is active in the furtherance of every movement for
the development and improvement of the general welfare. His genial and pleasing
personality have won for him many friends and he well merits the esteem in which
he is held by his fellowmen.
