Notes:
The Sumner County Press of January 8, 1880 reported the death of J. E. Reed of Blue Ridge, ex sheriff, from consumption. On January 22, 1880, the Press printed this obituary:
James E. Reed, the subject of this sketch, was born in Livingston county, New York, December 10th, 1836. At the age of seventeen he emigrated to Michigan, where, five years later, he enlisted in the 11th Michigan Infantry, in which organization he served faithfully for four years as a private.
After his regiment was mustered out he re-visited his old home and friends in New York, but again returned to Michigan, where he remained two years.
He afterward settled in Macoupin county, Illinois, where he was married to Miss Annie Gay, on the 8th day of February, 1866.
He came to Sumner county in 1871, arriving on the 15th day of December of that year. His family, then comprising his wife and three children, joined him during the same winter. At the general election in 1875, he was elected Sheriff, which position he filled for the succeeding two years. Since that time, Mr. Reed's health gradually failed until the 2nd inst. when he succumbed to the fell disease--pulmonary consumption--and peacefully expired, surrounded by his family and friends. He was buried on Sunday, the 4th inst., by the Masonic fraternity, with the usual imposing and impressive ceremonies.
(This was followed by resolutions of respect from the Wellington Lodge No. 150, A.F. & A.M. of which the deceased was an honored member.)
