Courier-Journal by Harold Davis
Unidentified house among Effie Kilgore Congleton’s papers with her note: "This old house reminds me
of the old Reed home in Neal Valley."
Lucy Reed, mother of Effie Kilgore, was born in 1854 to Ananias Reed and
his wife Sarah Cartmell at the old Reed place in Neal Valley, and lived there until
after her father died in 1882. She was one of eleven children, four of whom died
young.
y When Sarah Cartmell Reed died around 1864 seven of her children were
)
living at the Reed home: Mary, 20; George, 17; Cynthia, 16; Thomas Jefferson
(Jeff), 14; Lucy, 10; John Milton (Milt), 7; and Ananias, Jr., 4. The daughters
` began taking turns running their father’s household according to their ages or
stations in life: first, Mary, until she married Thomas Elam and moved away in
v 1866; then Cynthia, who married Chambers Adams in 1873 and, in time, also
A moved; then Lucy, who remained until their father’s death.
