This photo shows a gathering of family and friends taken in front of the family home at 8 Broadwood Road in the summer of 1936, the year that Amaro John Reed passed away on January 31.

Amaro and Maria Rita Reed welcomed their first son, Robert Cyril Reed, on March 18, 1903.

1918
This photo of the Reed family at their home on Broadwood Road was undated. My cousin Mary (Reed) Engesser and I determined the year to be 1918 based on what appears to be the approximate ages of the brothers in the photo. As a reference, the brothers, from the eldest to the youngest, are Bobby Reed, Edgar Reed, Willie Reed, Arthur Reed, Stephen Reed, Francis Reed and Reggie Reed.
In the above photo, first row from left: Francis, father Amaro John Reed, Reggie, mother Maria Rita Reed and Stephen. Middle row from left: Edgar, Willie and Bobby. At the top, Arthur. <Read more ...>
