Walter J. Reed was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 3, 1842. His parents immigrated to America when he was six and located in Logan, Ohio. Because his father was a thorough miner he was employed in the mines. After four years the family moved to Maryland where his father found employment as superintendent of the mines. By 1859 the family had taken up residence in Beaver County, PA where his father continued working as a superintendent. In 1861 Reed, his father and younger brother all enlisted in Pennsylvania regiments to fight for the preservation of the Union. His father and brother both died in Confederate prison camps. At the end of the War, Reed returned home to care for his widowed mother and younger siblings. In 1864 he married his wife, Barbara, in Pittsburg, PA. In 1878 he decided to seek a milder climate because of his mother's health. So, Reed, his wife, mother and family decided to head West. By 1879 they had settled near North Yakima and located a "soldier's" claim where they resided until 1886. About 1883 Reed and his friend, Thomas L. Gamble (later known as Judge Gamble), took two preemption claims on what is now known as Cle Elum, WA. In 1887 Reed House, a large two story wooden hotel that furnished housing for railroad employees and early residents was built in Cle Elum. About 1886 Reed discovered coal in the area and is credited with developing the coal fields in Kittitas County, WA. Reed went into a partnership with Thomas Johnson of Ellensburg. At some point, there was a disagreement between them that led to a legal case. In 1908, Walter J. Reed passed away.

Title: Walter J. Reed's evidence in a legal case concerning land in Cle Elum, WA, 1898-1902.

This collection appears to be evidence from the trial of Reed vs. Johnson. It is unclear what the dispute was about; however, it appears it may have been about discrepancy about the ownership of land since Reed had been partners with Thomas Johnson of Ellensburg, WA. The collection consists of an original plat of Cle Elum, WA made in 1886 and what appears to be a copy of that plat along with a copy of a plat of 1888. The collection also contains a listing of about 120 individuals that Reed sold lots in Cle Elum, WA. This list includes the grantee's name, date of deed & filing, no. of lots, no. of blocks, style of deeds, consideration paid, and where the deed was recorded. There is a typewritten copy of a bond from John Kangley to Walter J. Reed for about $5,000. Included in the evidence is the list of Reed's expenses for the lots from 1887-1898 and the county taxes he paid. There is correspondence and receipts of his account payable.
