On April 6, 1906, Charles Reed was united in marriage with Miss Fannie Thompson, daughter of William Thompson and Mary (Truelove) Thompson, and to this union four children were born. Fannie preceded her family death in July 1919. A daughter Willie also preceded Mr. Reed in death in 1926 and a son, Marvin, preceded him in death in 1937. The other children survive --- Mrs. Lucille Hulsey of Chicago, Illinois and Carl Reed, or Wichita, Kansas. Some three years after the loss of his first mate, on August 26, 1922, Mr. Reed was united in marriage with Ottie Lent Burchett, who had also lost her first mate to death. To this marriage which lasted over 50 years, three children were born --- Willis Reed, Frankfort, Illinois; Hubert Reed, of Cassville, Missouri; Miss Lavelle Reed also of Cassville. Mr. Reed had been a farmer as a young man, and later worked from 1923 into 1942 for the Tidewater Oil Company near Drumwright, Oklahoma; and later returned to Barry County, Missouri and remained a farmer until retirement. He and his devoted loving wife, Ottie have made their home at 500 West Street, in Cassville, Missouri for the past ten years. They are both members of the First Baptist Church of Cassville. Besides his loving wife, Ottie, and children named above, Mr. Reed is survived by 12 grandchildren, 18 Great-Grandchildren, and 3 Great-Great Grandchildren. He was preceeded in death by two brothers--Jake and Fred-- and by 2 sisters; Mrs. Jannie Beaver and Mrs. Ola Bowman. Mr. Reed is survived by one brother---Elmer Reed, of Climax Springs, Missouri; and by two sisters--Mrs. Leona Montgomery, of Springfield, Missouri and Mrs. Nora McCollum, of Rogers, Ark.; and he is also survived by a half-brother--Clyde Reed, or Gentry, Ark. and by a half-sister---Mrs. Cleva Snyder, of Camden, Missouri. Having lived many more years than most all of us today, this retired Christian Farmer and Family Man leaves many friends throughout Southwest Missouri and Central Oklahoma who join his family as they mourn his passing.
