HERBERT s. REED DIES IN FRANCE.
1t was with deepest grief that the news
of the death of Herbert Scott Reed,
who died in France of pneumonia, was
received here on Tuesday, Nov. IL. The
news, coming just day after the message
that the srmistice was signed, with every
mind turning naturally to the glad home
coming Of the boys, made the blow espec-
tally heavy. fremont couldn't have lost
son 1t would miss more, and be died a
brave and heroic death, as much SO as il
he had been killed by an enemy weapon.
Herbert was popular young man, and
made friends wherever he went. He was
OF pleasant disposition and high character.
He was the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. b.
B. Reed, and leaves beside his parents, one
sister, Miss Hazel Reed of Brewer, and
three brothers, Carl and Richard, who
live at home with their parents, and
Beniam n, jr., who is now a sophomore at
Bucksport seminary.
Mrs. Reed had letter from the nurse
who cared for him in the last hours OF has
illness, which gave but few details. He
has been laid to rest over there in a little
American cemetery, and his body will be
brought home in due time with the many
other brave young heroes who laid down
their lives for the freedom and peace OF
their country and loved ones.
This sad death brings to the friends
minds another death of the second son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Reed, who by accident
shot and instantly killed himself by the
discharge OF a gun. He was then eleven
years old and left Herbert, his playfe
about two years older, then about ii ir-
teen. His lame was Basil. Sympathy is
extended to the shocked and bereaved
family.
