At the age of two years he moved with his parents to Washington County, Ohio. There he grew to manhood and on January 21 he was united in marriage to Miss Marth E. Smith. To union were born seven children, four of whom are living. Mr. Reed moved to Howell County 22 years ago. Mrs. Reed departed this life 14 years ago. The deceased had made many friends and was well liked by all who knew him. He is survived by three daughters, Zella Wilson of Simla, Colo.; Anna Hannagan of Kuger, Okla.; and Eva Keeler of near Trask; one son, Daniel Torpy Reed of Trask; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Additional Comments: Thomas Jefferson Reed is the son of Burr Reed and Mariby Hammond. Burr and Mariby are buried in Tunnel Cemetery. At least one infant of Thomas and Martha is buried there also. Thomas and Martha are both buried in Walker Chapel Cemetery, Howell Co., MO. The above obituary is a little misleading. Thomas and brother William both left Washington Co., OH at the land rush in Oklahoma. Both had homesteads in Canadian Co., OK. That is the place where his son Warner Reed died and is buried in El Reno Cemetery, El Reno, OK. Thomas left OK and eventually settles in MO. William Reed lives until the end of his life in Canadian Co., OK. Marriage date for Thomas and Martha is January 21, 1875, Washington Co., OH (probably Warren Twp. as that is where the family lived).
