There was onlyone other heir besides her, so she inherited a bunch too. We weren'tclose cause they lived in Fostoria. My folks were close with them. Reedwas a lot younger than I. He was in WWII. They used him as an accountantin New York. He was an accountant for years. Then he bought MoseLanfrom's Men's Clothing store in Fostoria. Mose Lanfrom [sic MosesLamfrom] was his wife's grandpa. Lanfrom's were Jewish. Their were a lotof Jews in Fostoria. One thing the Jews there did was picked up deadhorses and made fertilizer. After the war, Reed bought the clothingstore. They wanted to give it to him. Reed said absolutely not, he wouldbuy it. That is the kind of person Reed was. He and his wife ran thatstore. He ran that the rest of his life, until he retired. About 10-15years ago Patty (Ruth's daughter) went up there one time and bought Tom(Patty's husband) a suit. Reed gave him a reduction. My dad liked deerskin shoes. They got to be very hard to find. He went into Reeds storeand Reed didn't have any but he said, "I can get them for you" and hedid. They were so soft and pliable. They were dress shoes with high topswith hooks on them."
