Indiana, and removed to Iowa with her parents at the age of nine years,
where she received her education, and on December 22, 1859 , she was
united in marriage to Edward M. Pace who, while in the service of
his country, was killed in the Centralia, Mo., massacre in 1864. On

they resided until 1905 when they came to Washington, Kansas, where they
lived together until Mr. Reed's death which occurred on January 13, 1909.
"Grandma Reed, as she is known by almost every person in this city,
continued to reside in the home provided for her by her devoted husband
until she departed this life on Wednesday morning October 20, 1920 at the
age of 77 years 11 months and 20 days. Mrs. Reed united with the
Methodist church in her early girlhood and lived a true Christian life and
was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was also a member of the
W. R. C. in which she always was a very active member.
"Grandma Reed was the mother of eleven children, five of her sons dying
before reaching manhood, and two married daughters preceding her to the
better world. Mrs. Eva Foster of Clarina(sic), Iowa, and Mrs. Amy Hill
died at her home near this city in 1915, leaving three sons, Clair,
Chester and Robert who together with James and Gilbert Hicks, grandsons,
and Alden Longwell, a great grandson, were pall bearers for their
grandmother.
"There are three daughters, Mrs. Anna White of near Greenleaf,
Mrs. Dora Hicks of near this city and Mrs. Iva Weinienger of
Carter, S.Dak., and one son, James S. Reed of this city and
fourteen grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren surviving her
and nearly all of them were present at a family reunion given in her honor
on Sunday, October 17, 1920 at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. M.
O. Reitzel
"The funeral was preached at the home on C street Saturday morning,
October 23, by the Reverend John Endacott and the Methodist choir provided
the music. A large number of relatives and friends were present who found
it hard to say farewell to one so dearly beloved. Burial was made in
