REED, Miss Daisy (see also NEFF, Mr. Callie

"TWO LARGE FUNERALS - When No. 12's Victims Were Laid to Rest-Two of the saddest and largest funerals occurring in this community for some time took place last Friday when Miss Daisy Reed and Mr. Callie Neff, the victims of B & O, passenger train No. 12, were laid to rest. The funeral of Miss Reed, the 22-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Reed, of Bloomington, Md., took place Friday morning, the funeral cortège coming down on the eleven o'clock Western Maryland train, the services being held in St. Peter's Catholic church, her pastor, Rev. Thos. E. Gallagher, officiating and celebrating High Mass. The attendance was large, many meeting the train and escorting the remains to the church, and thence to its lasting resting place. The floral tributes were magnificent, representing the love, esteem and high regard in which the deceased was held by her friends, companions, and acquaintances. The funeral of Callie Franklin Neff, the companion of Miss Reed in the sad accident, took place Friday afternoon from St. John's Methodist Episcopal church, South, Ashfiend street, the pastor, Rev. H. L. Hout, officiating. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he was a member, attended in a body and had charge of the funeral arrangements, the pall-bearers being selected from their number. The two orders were very attentive to the bereaved ones on this sad occasion, which was much appreciated and for which the family-especially the grieved mother-express many thanks. The attendance of sympathetic friends was so large that building was crowded. The floral tributes of respect were very numerous, many large and fine pieces being among the collection. Mr. Neff was an industrious, kind and generous young man, kind to all and especially to his mother, who is heartbroken over his sad and sudden death. Among friends in attendance from out of town were: Mrs. J. W. Perry, Mrs. George Grimes and daughter, Mrs. C.W. Grimes, Attorney R.A.L. Dick, George Marker and J. A. Nev of Cumberland; Mrs. Thomas Bone, of Clarksburg; Mrs. Lucy A. Lashbaugh, of Frostburg; Mr. and Mrs. John W. Burke, Mrs. D.T. Greenwade, of Keyser, and many others whose names we could not learn."

REED, Eliza Jane

Eliza Jane Reed was born Oct. 8, 1823, died Oct 20, 1913*, aged 85 years and 12 days. It was her earnest wish to live till her birthday. The infirmities incident to old age had confined her to her bed but a few days when the spark of life went out. In 1882 she married Dr. J. A. Lemon and thus happily ended a courtship begun in her youth. They lived happily together until the Dr.'s death a few years ago. She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church. Few women were better known in this whole region of country than deceased, familiarly called "Aunt Eliza." She was a type of the old time hospitable lady, whom everybody esteemed and respected: original in character, shrewd judge of human nature, close observer and retentive memory, independent in thought, honest in conviction and plain in speech. She was a woman of great energy and her habit of industry manifested itself almost to the last. Interment on the home burying ground, with a short service by the pastor.

REID, John T.

John T Reid Native of Cumberland ~ He Is Survived by Brothers and Sisters Residing Here ~ Sons Wounded in Roosevelt's Cavalry
Relatives in this city have received word of the death of John T Reid, who died at Loveland, Colorado one week ago.  The deceased was in his seventy third year and was a native of Cumberland.  He was a brother of Mr. James Reid, the popular mail carrier, of this city, Mr. Robert Reid, Mr. William Reid, Mrs. Mary Willard, Mrs. Louise Berkley, Mrs. Margaret Couters and Mrs. Marion Fisher, all of Cumberland, and Mrs. J. T. Anderson, of Salina, Kansas.  The deceased left Cumberland in 1856 and located in the west, returning to his native place only once afterward in his life, that visit having been prompted by his mother's death, which happened in 1867.  Mr. Reid raised a large family of children, and among them were two sons who were members of Col. Roosevelt’s Cavalry and each of whom were wounded in the charge of San Juan hill that gave much to the war fame of the new President of the United States.  The death of the former Cumberlander reminds local observers that four deaths have occurred in the Reid family recently in quick succession.  The subject of this paper died on January 13. But a few week ago Thomas Reid, a cousin died from pneumonia at his residence in this city. On the 8th of last October George Reid, a brother of John T. Reid was killed by the cars, while in the performance of his daily duty in the B. & O. railroad company's yards at Cumberland, and but a little more than a year prior, Mrs.  Martha Bell, a sister died at her home in the State of Missouri.

REIDEL, Israel

ISRAEL REIDEL DIES AT HOSPITAL ~ In Charge of Emergency Hospital Nursed and Cheered Patients
Following an illness of about a week when he suffered a stroke of paralysis, Israel Reidel, 2 Hay street, died yesterday afternoon at the Allegany hospital. Mr. Reidel was about 74 years of age. He followed the trade of baker but for several years past he and his wife had been in charge of the Emergency Hospital The deceased was a member of Company A, Ninety-third Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and served from October 16, 1861 until the end of the war. The Emergency Hospital of which he was superintendent was unique in that it was the one of its kind in the country. It owed its existence to the broad and generous humanitarian spirit of County Commissioners, the late William Thompson, John G Merbach and Walter T Parker. It was first opened in the old "pest house' as a refuge for a tuberculosis patient in the advanced stage, who had been turned out of the house, and from that day its doors were always open to human derelicts whom others would not receive, regardless of their race, color, creed, disease, or domicile. To all these poor outcasts Mr. Reidel was uniformly and cheerfully kind and attentive, no matter how loathsome the disease of the patient. Later when the pest house had to be used for smallpox patients, the Emergency Hospital was removed to another building on the county farm, where its usefulness was continued by the county commissioners till the close of 1915. The body of Mr. Reidel was removed to the Stein undertaking establishment. Funeral arrangement have not yet been made.

REXRODE, Mrs. Missouri Bird

The death of Mrs. S.B. Rexrode, which occurred at her home, Valley Center, Nov. 16th at 5 o'clock, did not come as a surprise to her relatives and friends, for she had been in a critical condition for some time and no hope of recovery. Death was due to tuberculosis. Mrs. Rexrode's maiden name was Bird, a daughter of the late George Bird, and she has many relatives in the county. She is also survived by her husband and several children, one of the youngest of them, Hoy Rexrode, being a pupil of the Monterey High School. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. We doubt not that our Back Creek correspondent will, in due time, furnish a fitting sketch of her life and family.
