General Notes: Husband - Alfred G. Reed


He was educated in the common schools and at Witherspoon Institute, and commenced reading law with John N. Purviance. Before his admission to the bar, at the first call for troops in 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company H, Thirteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was one of the first regiments to cross the Potomac into Virginia. At the expiration of his three months' term, he re-enlisted for three years in Company H, Seventy-Eighth Pennsylvania Vol­unteers, and was commissioned second sergeant. His regiment was assigned to General Negley's command, operating in Kentucky and Tennessee. After a brief period he obtained permission from the colonel of his regiment to return to Butler and raise a company of mounted men; but subsequently joined C. E. Anderson, in recruiting Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsyl­vania Volunteers, for the nine months' service. He was commissioned first lieu­tenant of this company, on August 14, 1862, and was promoted to the rank of adjutant, on October 2, following. He was frequently complimented by General Humphrey on being one of the most efficient drill masters in the division. In that terrible charge at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, he was mortally wounded, and died on December 28, following. His remains were brought home and laid to rest in North Side cemetery.
