Reed

My name is  Shawn Price  of Loma Linda, CA.  I am not related to the Reed family.  However, my mother's family is part of all the early families of  Flat Rock, Indiana,  i.e.  Whaley,  Nail,  Garard,  Ropp,  Rapp,  White,  Collett,  Spurling,  Spurlin,  Hawkins  and more.  While visiting my grandmothers grave in the Pomona Cemetery, Pomona, Los Angeles County, CA, I found the following graves with great excitment.  In the History of Pomona, there is a write up of Henry M.
