    John S. Reed
    John S. Reed, age 80 years, died Monday at his home of his son, P. B. Reed, in this city after several days of illness. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. B. Presley, were held at the Methodist church at 10 o’clock a. m. Wednesday and interment was made in the Huntsville cemetery.
    Mr. Reed was a native of Indiana and was born May 12, 1850. He was married Aug. 3, 1872, to Margaret Meridith. The family had resided in different states and for a considerable time several years ago were located at Eureka Springs. In recent years Mr. and Mrs. Reed resided at Enid, Okla., where Mr. Reed was engaged as a contractor and builder, in which business he was occupied actively till a very few months ago. He was a man of remarkable energy and physical endurance, which he retained long after he was past 70 years of age, and went in the lead with men many years his junior.
    Wherever located Mr. Reed was identified with religious work and was a well recognized church and Sunday school worker. He first joined the United Brethern church in 1871; moving later to where there was no congregation of that denomination, he became a member of the Methodist church and remained such throughout his life. His christian life touched a wide circle of acquaintances and everyone who knew him soon learned to esteem him highly for his sincerity of purpose and practice in his efforts of do good.
    Mr. Reed is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Leatha Bell of Arkansas Pass, Texas, Mrs. Edna Cassell of Sacramento, Cali., Mrs. Jessie Ogden of Los Angeles, Cali., Robert Reed of Jefferson, Oklahoma, Mrs. Mary Wright of Beverly, Kas., Mrs. Vernie Strange of Lincoln, Kas., Mrs. Hazel Ogden of Seminole, Okla., and P. B. Reed of Huntsville. All the children except the first four named were present at the funeral.
    Mr. and Mrs. Reed had been at the home of their son in this city since last summer.

    Notes:

    Hazel Vivian Reed Ogden O'Brate was born in Eureka Springs, Arkansas Sept 21, 1892. When she was two years old, the Reed family moved to Lincoln, Kan. At the age of Fourteen, she was baptized in the Saline River and became a member of the Methodist Church. She later joined the Christian Church.
    In 1906 she moved with her family to Enid, Okla., and three years later she was united in marriage to Samuel Ogden who lived near Enid. To this union six children were born. The family resided near Enid until most of the children were grown. They then moved to California and lived for several years. On Feb 3, 1950, her husband died and in 1956 she married Anthony O'Brate of Syracuse, Kansas. The O'Brate's and Ogdens had been life-long friends, so being united by this marriage made the bond even closer. She and Anthony had 14 happy years together, but, during this time, Hazel's health failed, and, for many years, she has been an invalid. Anthony's death came in 1970.
    Whoever wrote "God couldn't be everywhere so he made mothers" must certainly have had Hazel in mind. Even during her many years in the rest home, she was loved by all who came in contact with her. Her kindness, patience, and bits of humor made her a favorite with everyone. Her death came Oct 4, 1975, at the Hamilton county long term care unit.
    Surviving her are four children; Jessie Mae Ashley of Phoenix, Arizona; Dorothy Eastman, Lucille Hart and Norval Ogden of the San Diego area. Two sons, Floyd and Earl, preceded her in death as did three step-sons this same year. She also leaves two sisters, Crystal Johnson and Jessie Ogden of California; three step-children, Helen Christiansen, Walsh, Colo; Larry O'Brate, Bowie, MD; and Howard O'Brate, Garden City, Kan. Surviving too, are 18 grandchildren, one great-grandchild and many other relatives and friends.

    The Madison County Record (Huntsville, Arkansas) · 11 Sep 1986, Thu · Page 10
    Delano Pioneer Will Be Missed
    (This article was printed in the Delano, Calif., Record.)
    By Paul Wahl
    The death of Winnie B. Gage last month left a definite hole in the memory of her family and the Delano community.
    Although a relatively short-time resident of Delano, she left an impression of friends and neighbors. She’s best remembered as being an “active older person,” something she wished for all older citizens.
    “She couldn’t stand to see anyone just sitting around,” recalled daughter Betty Kouklis of Delano.
    Life began for Winnie Gage on March 21, 1902 in Beverly, Kan. Later, her parents, P.B. and Nellie Barton Reed, three sisters and two brothers and Winnie set off for Huntsville, Ark., in a covered wagon.
    At the age of 13 Winnie took her first job caring for elderly neighbors for $1.50 per week. By age 17 she was teaching school and later worked as a telephone switchboard operator.
    In an heirloom book left to her family, Winne explained that she wanted to be a nurse but settled for teaching when she found out nursing took college.
    On March 21, 1920, Winne married the man she called “her one true love” – Lyman J. Gage. She was 18.
    The couple had seven children – Berniece, L.J., Jr., Reed, Louis, Betty and the twins, Bill and Bob.
    All of the children are graduates of Delano High School and many of them attended Columbine School.
    Lyman and Winnie Gage struck out for California in 1931, seeking what all immigrants in the 30s were – a better life. They hit Delano in 1933.
    The family lived in Delano until 1947, when they moved to Springville. Lyman operated a service station and hobby shop.
    It was during their tenure in Springville that Winnie began her career in journalism. She was Springville reporter for the Fresno Bee, Farm Tribune and the Porterville Recorder.
    In 1933, she had a daily senior citizens activity program on KCHJ which she wrote and produced. Each program featured a “thought for the day” which was usually repeated at lunch at the senior center.
    She also wrote a senior citizens activity column for the Delano Record.
    Winnie began another hobby, which was to become a passion in 1945. After a bout with valley fever, she began making and dressing dolls and eventually had almost 700 in her collection.
    She repaired and redressed dolls for the Porterville State Hospital using materials such as clay, apples, nuts, bottles, clothespins, wire and crepe paper to fashion her creations.
    She also collected bottles, buttons, postcards, old Valentine cards, rocks, books, shells and cacti, many of which she started from seed.
    Lyman and Winnie marked their 50th wedding anniversary in 1970. Winnie moved back to Delano after Lyman’s death to be closer to daughters Berniece Harwood and Betty Kouklis.
    The rest of the family is rather spread out, but that didn’t stop Winnie from visiting. Partly because daughter Berniece is a travel agent and partly because she loved to travel, she made many visits to Arkansas, Alaska, Washington, Idaho and places in Kern County.
    Son L.J. resides in Anchorage, Alaska, son Louis in Buckley, Wash., and son Reed in Caldwell, Idaho. Bill and Bob live in Taft.
    Shuffleboard was also a love of Winnie’s life. She recently won a Senior Citizen Olympic Gold Medal in a Bakersfield competition at age 81.
    Besides her immediate family, Winnie left a sister in Delano – Edit Grimes. She is also survived by two sisters from Huntsville – May Markley and Maggie King.
    (Lyman Gage was the brother of Bob Gage of Huntsville. Many of their nieces and nephews also reside in Madison County.)

    Delano Hero Is Given Silver Star For Gallantry
    Delano (Kern Co.), March 22 – Louis E. Gage, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Gage, Sr., of Delano, was presented the Silver Star award for gallantry in action at a formal retreat ceremony closing the open house celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Presidio in San Francisco.
    Gage at present is majoring in journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.
    Text of Citation
    The citation reads as follows:
    “By direction of the president, under the provisions of Army Regulation 600-45, September 22, 1943, as amended to Louis E. Gage, 39045-987, staff sergeant, infantry, headquarters company, 222nd Infantry, for gallantry in action on April 28, 1945, near Dachau, Germany.
    “After leading his platoon across an open field near Dachau under sniper fire, Sergeant Gage investigated two caves dug in the side of a road. Throwing tow fragmentation grenades in each case, he entered and discovered 11 dead German SS troops. As he left the caves, an enemy machine pistol, several machine guns and small arms opened fire upon him. Sergeant Gage borrowed a sub machine and advanced to a position less than 50 yards from the enemy, firing into their position. He repeated this performance twice in the face of heavy fire, killing 14, wounding 23 and taking eight prisoners. By this indomitable courage and intrepid gallantry, Sergeant Gage reflected great credit upon himself and the military service.”
    Recovered From Wound
    Slightly more than three months prior to this exploit at Dachau, Gage was wounded in action in France on January 21, 1945. He recovered in time to participate in the drive into Germany.
    Gage entered the army on May 12, 1943, after being graduated from the Delano High School. He took his advanced training at Camp Gruber, Okla.
