DEATH CLAIMS WIDELY KNOWN SHAMOKIN MAN

Samuel Reed Dies at Home After Illness of Year

     Samuel Reed, widely known resident of Shamokin died at his home, 826 
North Second Street, at 8:10 this morning of a complication of diseases 
following an illness of a year's duration.
     Mr. Reed had been seriously ill since early summer when he was seized 
with a paralytic stroke.  During the ensuing months his heath failed to 
improve and he lost strength steadily until death intervened this morning.  
     He was born in Gowen City, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Reed.  When he 
was a child the family moved to Shamokin where Mr. Reed spent the remainder 
of his life.  For more than forty years he had been employed at the Cameron 
colliery and worked steadily until the time of his illness.  He married 
Amelia Ohrendorf fifty years ago and last July they celebrated their fiftieth 
wedding anniversary.
    Surviving are his wife and the following children:  Charles, Mrs. George 
Jones, Mrs. Leslie Batdorf and Mrs. Marlin Bixler, of Shamokin;  Harry and 
Oliver, of Norristown;  Mrs. Charles Hartsberg of Florida;  and John, of 
Danville.  Nine grandchildren and one great grandson also survive.
     The funeral will be announced later.
