Research Notes:
A biosketch reports [14]:
A. D. Reed, farmer, P. O. Rantoul, was born in Wyandot County, Ohio, January 8, 1834, and reared on a farm. Removed to Iowa in 1854, and came to Kansas in the fall of 1855, with his father, Robert Reed, who still resides here. The subject of our sketch settled on his present farm, in Cutler Township, Franklin County, in the spring of 1856, and has resided on it since. He owns 240 acres of improved land, and is quite extensively engaged in raising cattle, sheep, and hogs. During the late war Mr. Reed served in the State Militia. He was married in Franklin County, Kas., October 30, 1866, to Myra T. Mitchell, and they have a family of three children--Stella, Vincent M., and Jessie.
"Robert Reed who first came to the area in 1855 did not settle until 1857, after a return trip to Iowa. Reed's family included his wife and two sons who also settled in the area. The Reeds established a post office at their farms east of Rantoul known as Reedsville." [15]
Myra T. Mitchel was a daughter of Vincit Mitchel, spelled with one l, although several public documents spell her name as Mitchell. [16]
