Mr. Edmond D. F. Read lives nine miles from Franklin, in Simpson
county. He will be seventy-five years of age in August this year. His wife
was Miss Elizabeth Pulliam, daughter of William Pulliam, Sr., of Allen
county. They were married in May 1839, and have four living children.
"Uncle Edmond," as he is affectionately called by relatives and friends
alike, is liked by everyone, and the good woman who has borne his name for
fifty years is a favorite of all who know her. The celebration of the
golden wedding is anticipated by them with pleasure, which is shared in by
their children to an equal degree. Mr. Read was born in the old home where
his brother Samuel and his family now reside.
