Jesse Reed, retired, now living in Barron, and an early settler in the
county, was born in Indiana and there married Celia (Sumpter) Reed, also a
native of that state. They came to Pierce County, Wisconsin in 1866, and
took a homestead of 80 acres. In 1876 they came to Barron county and
secured a homestead of 40 acres in Maple Grove Township. They cleared most
of the land, erected log buildings, later replaced these with more modern
structures, and here farmed until 1890. Then they returned to Pierce County
and purchased 40 acres. Later Mr. Reed took his father's homestead and
lived there until 1905, when he sold out and moved to Barron, where he
still resides. Mr. and Mrs. Reed had three children, Irvin (deceased),
George and Robert.
