Putnam County Obituaries    Eatonton, Feb. 6 - The remains of David Henry Reid, formerly of this county, who died at the Confederate soldiers home in Atlanta yesterday, were brought here for interment on the family burial lot today.  Mr. Reid was 72 years of age, and is survived by two brothers, Tax Collector J. Calhoun Reid, of this city, and Ed Reid, of Atlanta.  He was a first honor graduate of South Carolina's leading college prior to the civil war, and a member of one of Georgia's best known families.  As a former Confederate soldier he entered the soldiers' home near Atlanta after the death of his brother, Capt. A. S. Reid, and spent his last years in peace and contentment among his old comrades in arms. Putnam Co., GA (The Macon Telegram - February 7, 1915)   ©2007 Genealogy Trails
