Reed, Elijah, Little Falls, is a native of Herkimer county, and was born in 
1822.  He lived on his father's farm until 1846, when he came to Little Falls 
and entered the mercantile business.  In 1861 he embarked in the cheese 
business, and in 1868 retired from this to go into the starch manufacturing 
business with J.J. Gilbert.  He continued in this industry for eighteen 
years.  In 1882 he became connected with the Little Falls Knitting Company by 
purchasing stock, and in 1886 he took the position of secretary and treasurer, 
which he has since held.  The company is very prosperous, and employs 260 
hands in the manufacture of underwear.  He possesses fine business abilities,
