The family settled in the southern portion of Deerfield Township, this county, in 1812, where the parents lived to the close of their lives.

Anthony resided on the old homestead until thirty years of age. He was married in 1842 to Miss Elizabeth Lazarus, a native of Deerfield Township, this county.

William Reed here cleared eighty or ninety acres of land and passed the remainder of his life, attaining the ripe age of eighty-five years. Our subject was brought up on the farm, receiving the limited education obtainable in the early day. Being reared in the wilderness he early learned to swing the ax and to toil with his hands. At the age of twenty-one he began the struggle of life for himself, and by perseverance, industry and frugality he accumulated a fine estate, comprising over 290 acres of land. He was married September 14, 1852, to Miss Rebecca A. McMillen. The family are connected with the Presbyterian Church. LINUS REED, farmer, P.O.

To this union were born two children, Mary A. (deceased) and Ardelia. Our subject is a self-made man; commencing with but $50, he has accumulated a comfortable competency. He taught school for fifteen terms at $12 per month, and from his savings he made his first purchase at $9 per acre; for his next purchase he paid $30, and the residence which he is not building to replace one destroyed by fire will cost $1,800. When he first settled on his present farm it was covered with woods, which had to be cut away to make room for his log-cabin. His first purchase was twenty-six acres, to which he added seventy-two, and he has also bought lands elsewhere which he disposed of advantageously. Mr. Reed is one of the oldest residents of Deerfield Township. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 14:47:00 -0600 From: Betty Ralph To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <2.2.32.19991130204700.0099d498@HiWAAY.net> Subject: Bio - 1885 - Portage Co, OH, Deerfield # 5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bios: Regal, Shefelton, Slack, Smith - Portage County, Ohio, from "History of Portage County, Ohio" published by Warner, Beers & Co., Chicago, 1885 Copyright C 1999 by Betty Ralph.
