Died Suddenly
"Wm. Reid, an old resident of this county died suddenly at his home six miles 
southeast of town, Tuesday morning.  Mr. Reid had been ailing for a long time 
but his death was very sudden and so far as any immediate fears were 
concerned, was unexpected.  Mr. Reid has been here since the opening of old 
Oklahoma and was a highly respected citizen."  El Reno News  Nov. 2, 1899

Obituary
"William Reed, a well known citizen of Canadian County, died suddenly of heart 
disease at his home, five miles east of El Reno, Oct. 31.  He was a native of 
Ohio, where he resided until the opening of Oklahoma, ten years ago, since 
which time he has resided here.
	He leaves seven children, four daughters and three sons, all of whom 
were present at the funeral, which took place Nov. 1.  A large concourse of 
friends and neighbors were present.
	Mr. Reed will be greatly missed for he was beloved by all who knew 
him.  The Golden Rule was the rule of his life, a humanitarian, he had great 
sympathy for sufferers and all in affliction.  Wm. Reed was an honest man, a 
man of veracity, whose word was as good as his note.
	He was laid to rest beside his wife, who died ten years ago.  Peace to 
his ashes."  El Reno Democrat, Nov. 9, 1899
