Charles Calvin Reed was born December 23, 1885, near Clantonville, AR; and departed this life March 26, 1978, in the South Barry County Hospital, in Cassville, MO at the age of 92 years, three months, and three days.
On April 6, 1906, Charles Reed was united in marriage with Miss Fannie Thompson, daughter of William & Mary {Truelove} Thompson, and to this union four children were born. Fannie preceded her family in death in July 1919. A daughter Willie also preceded Mr. Reed in death in 1926 and a son, Marvin, preceded him in death in 1937. The other children survive; Mrs. Lucille Hulsey of Chicago, IL and Carl Reed, of Wichita, KS. Some three years after the loss of his first mate, on August 26, 1922, Mr. Reed was united in marriage with Ottie {Lent} Burchett, who had also lost her first mate to death. To this marriage which lasted over 50 years, three children were born; Willis Reed, Frankfort, IL; Hubert Reed, of Cassville, MO; Miss Lavelle Reed also of Cassville.
Mr. Reed had been a farmer as a young man, and later worked from 1923 into 1942 for the Tidewater Oil Company near Drumwright, OK; and later returned to Barry County, MO and remained a farmer until retirement. He and his devoted loving wife, Ottie have made their home at 500 West Street, in Cassville, MO for the past ten years. They are both members of the First Baptist Church of Cassville.
Besides his loving wife, Ottie, and children named above, Mr. Reed is survived by 12 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two brothers; Jake and Fred, and two sisters; Mrs. Jannie Beaver and Mrs. Ola Bowman. Mr. Reed is survived by one brother, Elmer Reed, of Climax Springs, MO; and by two sisters; Mrs. Leona Montgomery, of Springfield, MO and Mrs. Nora McCollum, of Rogers, AR; and he is also survived by a half-brother, Clyde Reed, of Gentry, AR and by a half-sister, Mrs. Cleva Snyder, of Camden, MO.
Having lived many more years than most all of us today, this retired Christian farmer and family man leaves many friends throughout Southwest Missouri and Central Oklahoma who join his family as they mourn his passing.
