A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF D. C. REED.....
 
Hon. D. C. Reed, who passed into the spirit world at his home in Winona on the 13th inst., was a man well and favorably known throughout Southeast Missouri in general and Shannon County in particular as his is a record dating from the antebellum days into and through the War of the Rebellion and down to, and including, the election of 1902.
Deceased was born in Roan County, Tennessee, June 8th, 1828, and lived to pass his 75th mile post.
At an early age he came with his parents to Shannon, then Ripley County, where he continued to reside the principal part of his life.
In 1852 he was chosen by the people of his county to serve in the capacity of Sheriff and Collector and was elected to the same position in 1854; two years later he was elected Representative, defeating Hon. Joshua Chilton.
He served as Captain of a Company in the Regiment of Colonel Boone under the control of the celebrated Jeff Thompson until 1863 when poor health procured his discharge and he returned home and remained with his family until the close of the Rebellion.
In 1866 Mr. Reed was given the Office of Assessor and the voters in 1878 again chose him as their representative.
When in March, 1873, Presiding Judge Thomas Chilton passed over the dark river, Mr. Reed was appointed to fill his unexpired term.
In the year 1888, Presiding Judge Hezekiah Weaver resigned his position and removed from the state, and Gov. Francis appointed Mr. Reed to fill out his unexpired term ending Dec. 31st, 1890.
Since residing at Winona, he served in the capacity of both Marshall and Mayor, and made a hard contest for the Office of Representative in 1902.
He married twice, in early life to a Miss Fansher, and his last wife was a Miss Baker; both preceded him to the spirit world and out of a large family he has three sons and two daughters yet living.
His remains were laid to rest at the old family burial ground at his old home on Current River under the auspices of the Masonic Fraternity of which he was an honorable and highly respected member. ~ Joshua Sholar
