Mary Elmina Hillmon, daughter of Harriet Louthan Hillmon and John McLain Hillmon, was born April 11, 1875, in Hiawatha Kans. She attended school in Holton, Kans, and taught school at Neuchatel, Kans., until her marriage on January 2, 1895, to William W. Reed of Bancroft, Kans. Mr. and Mrs. Reed made their first home near Bancroft. To this union were born two children: Percy Hillmon and Willa Grace. In the spring of 1909 the family moved to their farm near Blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Reed continued to live near Blessing until 1947 when they moved to Palacios. Mrs. Reed passed away in the Matagorda General Hospital, Bay City, shortly after midnight on the morning of December 6, 1950. Services were conducted by the Rev. R. Earl Price in the First Presbyterian Church of Palacios at three o’clock on the afternoon of December 7. The beautiful organ music was arranged and played by Mrs. Carlton Crawford, who included by request “Sunset and Evening Star.” Pall bearers were John Richards Jr., G. G. Hope, John White, R. B. Trull, Crawford Cunningham and C. B. Viets. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Taylor Brothers with interment in Palacios Cemetery. One who loved life and loved people, Mrs. Reed was active in religious, civic and social groups during her 41 years residence in Matagorda County. At the time of her passing she was an active member of the Palacios Chapter No. 125, Order of the Eastern Star, and of the Women’s Group of the Presbyterian Church. She took much interest in the work of her Women of the Church Circle, and was currently serving on the Council of Church Women. Both Mr. and Mrs. Reed were members of the Christian Church of Bancroft, Kansas, but, there being no church of that denomination in their community, they have made the Presbyterian Church their church home since coming to Texas. For many years Mrs. Reed belonged to the Lend-A-Hand Club of Dunbar. She was a charter member of the Blessing Public Library Association and did not spare herself in helping to make the library bigger and better thru the years. She derived much pleasure and profit from her long association with the Matagorda County Federation of Women’s Clubs. During the first months of World War I she completed a course for Volunteer Red Cross Instructors, and drove a horse and buggy regularly to Dunbar, where she led a group of volunteers for the duration. During all of her active years on the farm, neighbors on all sides sent for Mrs. Reed in times of distress. She was never too ill or too busy to hurry to anyone in trouble of any kind. She galloped across the fields on horseback when that was the quickest way. In later years, when she had more time for outside activities, she became an active member of the Tres-Palacios Garden Club, the Wayside Club, and the Home Demonstration Club. Tiny and frail though she was, she happily carried her share of the load in these organizations, and held minor offices from time to time. Mrs. Reed was possessed of manual dexterity to an unusual degree. Many exquisite things, which she has made and given to those she loved, remain as silent testimony to her love and to her skill. She very much wanted “the world to be a better and a happier and a prettier place” because she was in it. And surely it was. Surviving Mrs. Reed are her husband, William W. Reed, and her son, P. H. Reed, both of Palacios; her daughter, Mrs. David G. Wynne of Houston; five grandchildren, William Walter Reed II of Tampa, Florida, Miss Mary Louise Reed of Dallas, Robert Louthan Wynne and Kenneth Reed Wynne of Houston, and Alice Fern Reed of Palacios; two sisters, Mrs. E. J. Cummings of New Plymouth, Idaho, and Mrs. W. R. Gaumer of Denver, Colorado; and one brother, T. B. Hillmon of Manhattan, Kansas.
