ALLEN G. REED IS DEAD
WAS ONE OF THE EARLY SETTLERS
IN CLAY COUNTY.
He Located I'm Liberty in 1881. and
Later Had Many Thrilling
Experiences In the
Far West.

Captain Allen G. Reed. a pioneer of the
West. died last night at the home of his
son-in-law. w. H. Seeger, 2509 Troost ave-
rue. He was 81 years of age, and died of
old age. The funeral services will take
place Tuesday morning at II o'clock at
Liberty. Mo-, the old HON of the de-
ceased.
In much that was daring and interesting
in the frontier life of the West. Captain
Reed had been a conspicuous figure, his
experiences as a pioneer extending from
the hills of Kentucky to Pixies Peak. He
was born in Clark county. Ky, in 1872, and
in 1881 went with his parents to Clay coun-
ty. Mo-. ard settled at Liberty, which
place he had continually called his home
since that time. During the years immedi-
ately following his Western location he
drove a wagon hauling hemp to the South.
and made many trips to Shreveport and
New Orleans. When river transportation
began he drove the hemp to ST. Louis for
market for years, and then with the true
instinct of a pioneer. turned his face to the
West. and for a score of years drove
freight wagons across the plains.
The Santa Fe trail was all known to him
and he made trips along its route repeated
ly SO that he became well acquainted with
the Indians that frequented it and while
he had many interesting experiences with
them and shared the dangers that went
with Western travel he escaped serious
harm. So frequently did he make that trip
and so successful was he in his undertake
ings that he was placed in charge of the
government trains that went out and was
given the title of captain. He was known
to the Indians as the Big White Chief and
was given respect according to that rank.
When gold was discovered at Pixies Peak
In 1853 he started at once In that direction
and was with the first detachment of the
fortune hunters that reached the new Ell
Dorado. He lived in Denver for eight years
and built the first brick house ever erected
in that city. When the Union Pacific road
was being constructed he mad large con-
tracts for ties and other supplies on that
part of the road between Cheyenne and
Laramie and was able through his standing
with the Indians TO carry on his business
without mOlestation.
He returned to Liberty and in 1869 locat-
ed there again and engaged in the mer-
camille business. which he carried on as
long as his health permitted. when he re-
tired and made his home with his chill
dren.
He leaves a widow and three children,

she visited New York city last spring, and
who served through the war with a con-
