General Notes: Husband - Charles Boyle Reed

---

He was born near what was known as Reed's Station, two miles south of Indiana, Pennsylvania. The railroad was built in 1854 and 1855. He later lived in Malaga, Washington. In a letter he said: "Brother Clif. has just arrived here from Pennsylvania. I had not seen him since last of March, 1859, when I left home for the 'wild and wooly west,' forty-nine years ago. It is needless to say it affords us a great pleasure to live our boyhood days over again." Charles in going west had lived in Illinois, Colorado and Montana, finally turning up in Washington state. He was engaged in farming, mining, in livery and feed stable business, in hotel-keeping, in a drug store, and was postmaster in Ellensburg from 1883 to 1888, when he sold and settled at Rock Island, ten miles east of Wenatchee, the home of the Big Red Apple, where he was engaged in fancy fruit growing, which was the principal industry in that section and was very profitable.
