OBITUARY: 
THE DEATH OF ROBERT REID
Aged and Respected Citizen of Salem Has Bid Adieu; to this ethereal sphere and departed to the land of the great unknown - was prominent Sunday school worker - Funeral 
Robert Reid, a well-known and highly respected resident of this community for thirty years, died at the home of his son, Geo. S. Reid, at No. 389 Summer street, at 8:30 o’clock last night, after a month’s illness, aged 70 years. 
Deceased was born in Bucyrus, Ohio, in 1832. He removed to Iowa in 1861, where he resided for a number of years and came to Oregon in 1872 and engaged in farming until the past few years when he entered into partnership with Bozorth, Ryan & Co., in the insurance and brokerage business. 
He was married twice, during his life, the first time in Ohio, in 1859, one son, Arthur M. Reid, a clerk in M. T. Rineman’s store of this city, being the only issue of this marriage. His first wife died in Iowa, in 1861, soon after the birth of the child. One year later the deceased married the second time, and six children were born to them as follows: Robert A., of Portland; Geo. S. , of Salem; Ralph R., of Portland; C. W., of Eugene, Paul W., of Portland and Mrs. Chas. A. Purvine of Zena. 
Mr. Reid has been a lifelong believer of Christianity and a zealous member of the Presbyterian church, was very prominent in Sunday school work and was president of the local Sunday School Union. He could always be found prominently identified in any movement which had for its object the uplifting of humanity and the ennoblement of his race, and he has a host of friends who will grieve deeply upon receipt of the news of his sudden demise. 
Funeral services will be held on Thursday at 2 o’clock p.m., at the residence of the son, Geo. S. Reid, at No. 389 Summer street, conducted by Rev. H. A. Ketchum, and interment will be had in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
