Charles l. was badly in need of mon

them to provide vessels for the royal
needs. and he suggested that this an
Client right might be brought into use
again. Instead of the actual vessels
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax n larger part OF the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs

SIXTY YEARS SINCE
WEDDING DAY
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Reed
of Harmony Celebrate
Numerous Grandchildren and Great
grandchildren in Attendance.

Having celebrated their golden
wedding 10 long years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis S. Reed of Harmony had
on the Fourth of July still more
notable celebration, that of their Goth
wedding anniversary. In the old fam
lily Bible of Josia Skillin the bride s
father, appears this entry on the
Marriages page:
Mr.. Lewis S. Reed to Miss Julia
A. Skillin, July 3, 1850, by Elder
Hiram Skillin.'
Sixty years ago Mr.. Reed brought
his bride home from Biddeford to
this place and here they have ever
since lived. AS a business man and
leading citizen Mr.. Reed is known
all over Somerset county, and no less
honored in the hearts of all who
know her is his estimable wife; and
their hosts of friends intend to make
the observance of Monday a pleasur-
able one and invitations have been
widely sent.
Unique, it is believed is the busi-
ness experience of Mr.. Reed in the
general store which he established
here long ago. In this store al the
present time are four generations of
Reeds, father, son, grandson and
great grandson, the latter an earnest
little helper after school hours.
Mr. Reed, who is 50, lives a mile
from his place of business, Net he
can be found there six days in the
week, unless the roads are made i'm
passable by snow. 1t takes a pretty
big storm, however, to keep Uncle
Lewis at home.
Lewis s. Reed was born May 10,
1925, of old colonial stock. his grand
father, Ward Reed, having served in
the war of the Revolution, enlisting
from Woburn, Mass. Removing to
Dexmont, Me, the Revolutionary SOL
der lived to a ripe old age, rearing
a large family, among whom was
Ebenezer, the father of Lewis S. Reed
Mr.. Reed himself is one of the very
oldest members of the Methodist
church here, is a charter member of
Harmony Grange and prominent in
Masonry and Odd Fellowship. He is
man of the strictest integrity and
of most genial and kind-hearted
character.
Mrs. Julia A. Reed, his wife. is also
OF old colonial stock, a descendant OF
Thomas Skillin. who was of Salem
before 1850, later removing to what is
now Portland Me. She was born
Sept. 16 1928, the eldest girl in a
family of Is children, of whom she
and one other only survive.
The estimable couple were aided in
entertaining July 4th by their three
children, Postmaster Ruel II. Reed
who has served in the Legislature and
as county officer; Everett S. Reed and
Mrs. Lillian (Reed) Bartlett of Saco
Numerous grandchildren and great
grandchildren were also in attend
ance on an occasion as joyous as il
is unusual.

At present Hinckley has two stores,
those of NJ. Palmer and L. P. Kicker.
There is a blacksmith shop and Il
admber of fine residences. The place
is well situated for a pretty village.
