I think you will find that the parents of Miriam Joy Reed were Burton Owen Reed and Etha Maude Gilger. Burt married 2) Esther Gleason. This REED family goes back to Matthias Reed b in Sandgate, Bennington, Vermont, in 1793.

Kay, I came across Miriam again while doing some touch-up on my Tree file and I found her with Frank as father, not the correction you volunteered 2 years ago(!) I thought I'd taken care of that but I am doing that now. Funny though, a Miriam Reed in York, PA also born in 1906. Well, lots of people, not that uncommon a coincidence, I guess.
So, I just wanted to thank you again for helping me correct this mistake, despite me, apparently :O)

Anytime. We searched for over 20 yrs. for a friend's father. There were two people born the same day with the same name in Potter County!! We have now figured it out.

Canada, lived in Bingham) They were married i4 Dec 1875. Her first husband was Robert Covell Bailey who went west to Klamath Falls, Oregon. He died there c 1892-93 while trying to save his son, Judson, from drowning.

Thank you, Kay. This story is very familiar to me, the drowning I mean, but I must be thinking of another family, since I clearly do not have them in my Tree. It would not be the first thing to have been inadvertently deleted from my Tree, between ancestry and FTM.
I remember reading an article about them; it even had a photo of the pond in the mountains where the drowning occurred, but just as with identical names on identical days, such a drowning was also not so unique, I guess.
Thank you again for the information. I am adding it to my FTM Tree now; I hope to update my ancestry.com trees later.
