Biographical Material

Scope and content:

Items in this series include publications such as account books and pamphlets on health remedies. The series also contains Asa D. Reed's honorable discharge papers from the U.S. Army, which provides a brief summary of his service from August 27, 1913 through June 4, 1920. A baby book provides information on the birth and early years of Eugene Mangus Reed, the son of Asa and Clarence Reed. Other items of interest include advertisements for coffee companies and a local bank in Warren, Ohio. The series also contains a pamphlet for a sanitary train that Asa Reed served on in the military, as well as pamphlets on the Erie and Ohio railroads. The series concludes with one photograph of Clarence Mangus (Reed) and several unidentified photographs of what appear to be WWI German military officers.
