Tips on finding parents using the number system:

• To find the father double the number, add one for the mother.  
• example--
•  # 17 is Olive Scribner
•  Double 17 to get her father # 34 Thaddeus Scribner,
• add one , so # 35 for her mother, Prudence Morrell.
• Husbands and fathers are always even numbers--wives and mothers ,odd numbers.
• Please check the information yourself.  I have not verified everything and there may be mistakes

 A wedding of much interest took place July 23rd, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Wood, Southfield, when their daughter, Gladys R. Allaby, was united in marriage to Ivan W. Reid.   The ceremony was performed by the Rev. I. E. Vanwart of Norton.  The bride, who was unattended, looked charming in white silk with bridal veil.  The ceremony took place on the lawn, under an arch prettily decorated with the Union Jack, ferns and roses.   Supper was served to about 50 invited guests.   The young couple received many valuable and useful gifts of furniture, silver and linen.  The bride was a popular school teacher and the groom is a returned soldier, having served two years in France for his King.   We wish them much happiness in their married life.   They will reside in Norton.

Notes for William Torrance Reid:

Obituary:
The death of William T. Reid which occurred on Wed. of last week, removed one of the most respected citizens of Clintondale. His death was a great shock to all, having been sick but ten days. He was considerably better the night before his death, so that his family entertained hopes of his recovery, but in the morning a change came that took him off suddenly. His parting words were that he had no fear of death.

He will be greatly missed by his family, having been a kind and loving husband and father and will also be greatly missed by the community at large, being associated with them in a business way. He had for ten years been agent at the Clintondale depot and filled his position faithfully and completely. He leaves to mourn  his loss a wife and one child,  an aged mother, a sister and several brothers. The funeral took place at his late residence on Saturday morning. His many friends expressed their sympathy for the bereaved family by sending many beautiful floral pieces. Internment in Lloyd cemetery

Note:  Willie Reid learned telegraphy at Bloomfield Station with Mr. DeWinton. He had a position at Winstead CT before going to Clintondale NY.  We are told he died of typhoid fever.

Mrs. Keirstead was only taken ill on Friday and it was not until Sunday morning that her case was considered fatal or even dangerous. Rev Dr Gates held a solemn service at the home last evening. The remains will be conveyed this morning by train to Apohaqui, and thence to Collina, where internment takes place."
