Abstract:
This collection contains the papers and biographic material, 1899-1946, of the Reed family of Floyd County, Virgina and Warren,
Ohio. Included are personal letters and photographs, as well as records relating to service of family members in WWI and
WWII. The correspondence series consists largely of personal letters written by Asa Daniel Reed to his future wife, Clarence
Elizabeth Mangus (later Clarence Elizabeth Reed), during Reed's service in the U.S. Army. Reed's assignments included posts
in the Philippines during the U.S. occupation thereof, in Texas along the border with Mexico, and in Germany and France during
World War I. Interwar correspondences focus more on Clarence Reed's domestic life in Warren, Ohio. During the World War
II period, Asa and Clarence Reed received correspondences from their son, Eugene Mangus Reed, serving in the U.S. Army. The
biographic material series includes publications from the late nineteenth century on health remedies, as well as brief histories
of the Ohio and Erie Railroads. The series also contains Asa D. Reed's discharge papers from the U.S. Army, the baby book
of Eugene Mangus Reed, and a photograph of Clarence Mangus.
