Keowee Courier, September 11, 1928
Mr. Jas. K. Reid Is Claimed By Death
   Died, at his home in Eastminster, on Saturday morning, September 8th, at 
about nine o'clock, Mr. James Knox Reid, aged 58 years.  Mr. Reid's health 
failed many months back, about the time he returned to Westminster from Toccoa, 
Ga., last winter.  He was afflicted with a complication of diseases and had 
suffered greatly the past few months.  He had been unable to work since the 
tenth of January.  Mr. Reid was a textile worker and had worked here a long 
time, with the exception of a few years at Walhalla and Toccoa, Ga.  He was a 
son of the late William Reid and was born in the Pleasant Hill section of the 
county on July 3, 1870.  He was a kind-hearted gentleman, well liked by 
everybody, modest, quiet and  unassuming.   He was twice married, his first 
wife who died several years ago was Miss Fannie Brown.  By this union he leaves 
two sons, Frank and Geo. Reid, one son, Knox Reid, having died some months ago. 
His second wife, who was Miss Lillie Mae Lindsay, with two daughters, Margaret, 
aged seven, and Mary, aged five years, survives.  The deceased was member of 
the Westminster Camp Woodmen of the World, the Masonic Order and the Junior 
Order American Mechanics and always took an active part in these organizations. 
The funeral and interment was at the First Westminster Baptist church Sunday 
afternoon at two o'clock and was in charge of the Masons with the pall-bearers 
chosen from members of the W. O. W.  Dr. F. H. Martin and Rev. M. J. Stancell 
conducted the services. Sheldon and Miller were the undertakers.  There are 
many who sorrow at the passing of Mr. Jas. K. Reid and they deeply sympathize 
with the widow and children in their bereavement.
