William Raymond Reed
William Raymond Reed was born in Jefferson Township, Taylor County, Iowa, December 23, 1885. He was the eldest son of Clarence Melvin Reed and Sarah Ann Large Reed, growing to manhood in and around Athelstan.

After completing grade school he took a commercial course in the Stanberry Normal College.

He was united in marriage to Maude Mabel King in August, 1907, and to this union was born four children—Alma Reed Lyons, Roy, Pauline and Ray Melvin.

He departed this life on December 20, 1935, at the age of 49 years, 11 months and 27 days.

He is survived by his wife and three children, his son, Ray, having preceded him in death. Besides his immediate family he leaves a daughter-in-law, Iola Reed, and a son-in-law, Ansel Lyons, also two aunts and two uncles, Icie Jenkins, George Reed, Alma Ramsay and John Large, and a host of other relatives and friends.

Will was a member of the Blockton Masonic lodge, and the Odd Fellows. He was president of the Blockton Creamery Co. and was interested in all progressive affairs of the county. He will be greatly missed, not only by his immediate family, but by the entire community.

Funeral services for father and son were held at the home at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. W. H. Warrior, and burial in the Platteville cemetery.
