====================================================================
DR. THOMAS E. REED, a leading physician of Lewisburg, is a son of Andrew J.
and Virginia E. (Nelson) Reed, both natives of Tennessee, where they grew
to years of maturity and were married.  Shortly after the latter event they
moved to Giles County.  The father was a farmer and
in addition carried on merchandising for some time.  He was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and the mother a member of the Presbyterian
Church.  The mother died in 1860 and afterward the father married Mary E.
Scott, who became the mother of four children, two of
whom are living.  Our subject was born July 15, 1860, in Giles County,
Tenn., and was reared on a farm.  In boyhood he attended the country
schools and afterward Giles College and Fayetteville Academy.  In 1874 he
took a course of lectures in the University of Virginia and in the
spring of 1876 graduated from the medical department of Vanderbilt
University.  In the same year he commenced practicing his profession in
Lewisburg and the extensive patronage  he has received says more for his
ability and popularity as a physician than mere words can do.  Dr. Reed,
like his father, is a Democrat, and he and Mrs. Reed are members of the
Presbyterian Church.
