Zacharias Reed, a widely known dealer in live stock,
died October 8th at Bean's hotel, in Kulpsville, where
he made his home, age 74 years. He had been ailing
for some time with Bright's disease, which caused his
death. Mr. Reed was a resident of Kulpsville
for a half century or more and during his long and
active career was an extensive dealer in live stock,
continuing in that business as long as health permitted.
By reason of his extensive business he became widely
known. Diseased was twice married and both
wives preceded him in death. He leaves four sons
and one daughter-Wilson Reed, of Telford; Titus Reed, of
Perkasie; Elmer Reed, of Kulpsville; Nevin Reed, of
Schwenksville, and Sophia, wife of Wilford Huston, of
Canada. One brother and three sisters also
remain-George Reed, of Telford; Mrs. Mary Hillegass and
Mrs. Sarah Shutt, of Philadelphia, and Miss Sophia Reed,
of Norristown. Interment was made at the
Christ Reformed burial grounds, above Kulpsville.
