"When my daughter was staying at Martinez, Cal. about 1934/5, Mr. Reed was one of the Head Construction Engineers on the new San Francisco bridge. Mrs. Reed entertained my daughter at her club and at her apart- ment--"one of the loveliest ladies I ever met" was her comment.
In 1941 Mr. Reed was made manager of Cramp's Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia, Pa. and Mr. and Mrs. Reed went there to reside. They had been there but a short time when, quite suddenly, Mr. Reed died on July 23, 1941. He had never had a sick day in his life or felt better." Mrs. Reed closed their large house and returned to San Francisco (2140 Pacific Avenue) and resided with her son, Lieut. James Reed, Naval Reserve, "ordered there for duty."
