Howland Reed

Howland Reed was an American farmer, and father of Calvin Reed, the 46th President of the United States, and eleven other children. 
Little public information is available on Reed, who was rarely known to venture outside of the borders of his farmland in Beaverhead County, Montana beyond the town of Dillon. On February 23, 2017, Reed was among the eight fatalities in the Dillon Shooting, killed by Dianna Noble after a disputed series of events involving Reed climbing onto the stage to confront Senator Alois Kramer, hosting a rally critical of Reed's son.
