TWO OLD PAPERS
In the Possession of an Octogenarian of Port Allegany.
Tell of the Fatal Accident to an Esteemed Resident of Potter County a Half Century ago. Better Press Work Than is Done Now-a-Days

- Edwin Haskell, editor, The Journal
- Mr. Cotter, Esq, editor, The Patriot

Mrs. Perry Reed of this city, the aged mother of J.P. Reed, is the possessor of two old Potter county newspapers. "The Patriot" and the "Peoples' Journal," both dated Wednesday July 28th, 1855. Each contains an account of the death of O. H. Perry Reed a farmer and woodsman whose home was on what is now known as Baker's Creek (Baker Creek), about four miles beyond Coudersport (approximately Rigas property -jcw). Mr. Reed was killed while felling pine trees on the grounds on which now stands the Coudersport glass factory. He was struck on the head by a falling limb in the latter part of July 1855...
... Of the two papers the Journal is the older and in 1855 was edited by Edwin Haskell and though it was suspended in 1861, it was afterwards revived and again came into possession of Haskell who is its editor and owner today, after fifty-three years of the ups and downs of newspaper making. The Patriot was then in its infancy and never lived to be old enough to wear boots. A lawyer by name of Cotter was its editor... It ought to have died.

Mrs. Reed, who has the papers prizes them highly as they contain notices of her husband's death. She is 84 yrs of age this spring and in good health bodily and mentally.
