A message was received here yesterday announcing the sudden death in Bellevue, Campbell County, Ky., of William M. Reed, 72, who was born in Frankfort and has a number of relatives here, including A. W. Overton, cashier of the Farmers Bank and Miss Eliza Overton. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, F. B. Johnson, after a very brief illness that was regarded as not at all serious.

He served two terms as Receiver of the Jefferson Circuit Court, and from 1898 to 1904 was Chief Deputy Circuit Clerk under the administration of that office by John H. Page. He was a brother of J. Duff and P. Booker Reed, the family being for many years prominent in society, in business and in politics.
