Mrs H.G. Reed died at her home in Braddyville, Sept 18, 1917 at the age of 66 years, 8 months and 9 days. Susan A. Jones was born in Lockbridge county, Va., Jan 9, 1841. She was married toH. G. Reed in Galesburg, Ill, Aug 22, 1877. To this union were born two children, Blanche and Lena.

Leaving Illinois in 1881, she, with her husband, came to Page county, locating near Clarinda, where she resided until the spring of 1882, when they came to the vicinity of Braddyville, where they have since resided.

When eighteen years of age she was led to appreciate her need of a Saviour, and as a result of this she surrendered her life, her all to Jesus Christ and, trusting in him, as her only hope of eternal life, she entered his service. This occurred in Monmouth, Ill., where she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. When she came to Braddyville she transferred her membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church of this place and continued her Christian activities here, a continual inspiration among those with whom she lived and labored. On last Sunday she was around among her associates and friends attending a public social and religious gathering of the same. In the afternoon she was taken seriously ill. A physician was called but was unable to do more than give temporary relief from pain. She lingered until the following night when, at 10 o'clock Sept 18, she gently fell asleep.

Left to mourn their loss are her husband and two daughters, Mrs Blanche Drumm, of Stillwater, Okla, and Mrs Lena Davidson of Tulsa, Okla, and her step-daughter, Mrs Netta Boyer, of Topeka, Kansas. Also three sisters and one brother survive: Mrs Margaret Polly, of Anaheim, Calif., Mrs Jennie Edwards, of Irwin, Ia, Mrs May Moore of Freedom, Nebr, and Alex Jones, of Abingdon, Ill. Also six grandchildren and two great grandchildren survive. However, these mourn not as those who have no hope but as those who look forward to that glorious day when the people of God shall be re-united in that home where partings shall never be known. The husband has lost a loving and faithful wife, the children a wise, loving and beautiful mother, the sisters a loving and sympathetic sister, the church a faithful member and Braddyville has lost in her a friend and noble example of womanhood.

The funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Evangelist G.W. White. A large concourse of friends gathered as a tribute of love and respect to one who had lived for so long in their midst. She was laid to rest in the Braddyville cemetery, where she awaits the call of the great Lifegiver. Those attending the funeral from a distance were Mrs Blanche Drumm, of Stillwater, Okla, Mr and Mrs Edwards, of Irwin, Ia, and Harry Boyer, a grandson, of Topeka, Kans.
