REED

  Paul W. Reed, aged 27 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reed of 423 
First avenue, and one of three brothers in the service of the United 
States army, died last night at 9.45 at the Mercy hospital at 
Pittsburgh from pneumonia, following an attack of influenza.  He 
entered the service of the ordnance corps and enlisted last March, 
having been located at Pittsburgh since that time.  He spent a furlough 
in this city three weeks ago at the time of the automobile accident at 
New Portage Junction, when his cousin was killed.  He was born in 
Duncansville and resided in this city practically all his life.  Before 
entering the service he was a telegrapher for the Pennsy in one of the 
towers near East Altoona.  He was only sick a week.  Surviving are his 
parents and two brothers in the army service, H. Baker Reed of Camp 
Colt, Gettysburg, Pa., and Roland of Ft. Bliss, Tex.  The body was 
brought to this city Saturday evening for interment.
