One member of the House who will take a special interest in school matters this winter is the Hon. J. F. Reed, of Nevada, whom the people of Story county chose to represent them. He has been engaged in school work ever since he began to take care of himself, and is well informed as to the needs and improvements in laws and methods which will be presented for the consideration of the members this winter. Mr. Reed was born in Marshall county, October 17, 1863. Until 18 years of age he lived in his native county, then he began the task of educating himself in the schools of the state. He attended the common schools, Albion Seminary and the Iowa State Normal school. After graduating from the normal school he located in Zearing and was elected principal of the Zearing schools, which position he occupied for six years. He was elected county superintendent of schools in 1801 and reelected in 1893. He has always been an active Republican, assisting in campaign work even before he was of age. He was married about eight years ago to Miss Emily Oakes. They have two children, Joyce, aged 6, and Elephelet, aged 4. Mr. Reed belongs to the Odd Fellows and Masons, and was high priest of the chapter of Royal Arch Masons of which he was a member.
