HONORABLE SIDNEY R. REED
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee appointed to prepare suitable resolutions commemorating the life and service of the Honorable Sidney R. Reed, late of Guthrie county, Iowa, beg leave to submit the following memorial:
Sidney R. Reed was born in Noble county, Ohio, April 28, 1859, and passed away at the family residence in the town of Montieth, Iowa, April 30, 1934.
At the age of three he came with his parents, Harmon T. Reed and Louisa Jordan Reed, to Iowa. His entire farm life was spent on the same farm near Montieth.
In his early life, he was a teacher in rural schools. Later he became a farmer and was also interested in the One Hundred and One Ranch in Cherry county, Nebraska. After retiring, he was associated with his brother in Montieth in livestock and grain business.
Mr. Reed was united in marriage on November 10, 1880, to Miss Alice McClellan. Three children were born, all of whom survive, Mrs. Pearl Reed Clampitt, Adel, Iowa; Mrs. Nora Reed Moench, Waterville, Minnesota and Mrs. Hazel Reed Havens, Rochester, Minnesota.
Mr. Reed served his community and state and served them well. Iowa has lost a most valuable citizen.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Forty-seventh General Assembly, That in the passing of the Honorable Sidney R. Reed the state has lost an honored citizen, a man of high ideals in brotherly living and useful citizenship.
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
