Samuel Benedict Reed was born in Arlington, Virginia on November 18, 1818. He is best
known for his prominent work as a civil engineer in the 1800s. In 1841, he began
work as an engineer on the Erie Canal and then worked for the Rock Island Railroad
building a line from Michigan to Joliet, Illinois. His involvement on these early
engineering projects led to his major role on a line of pioneer railroads across the
great western plains and over the Rocky Mountains, where he helped lay the last rail
that united the Union and Central Pacific railroads at Promontory Point on May 10,
1869. This completing the first railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. He
died on December 25, 1891 in Pasadena, California.
Jane Earl Reed, sometimes called Jennie, married Samuel Benedict Reed in 1855 in
Genesco, Illinois. Samuel and Jane had three daughters: Mary Boyle Reed, Anna Earl
Reed and Jane (Jennie) Earl Reed. Jane spent most of her life raising her family in
Joliet, Illinois while Samuel Reed traveled throughout the country. She died on
August 10, 1896.
Mary Boyle Reed married Louis Howard Hyde on June 20, 1889. Louis was born to George
Warren and Mary Amanda Howard Hyde on June 29, 1860. Louis Hyde went to school in
Ann Arbor, Michigan and was proprietor of the Pipestone Flour Mills in Pipestone,
Minnesota in the early 1900s. He traveled extensively and spent nearly two years in
Australia. He died on April 8, 1923. Mary B. Reed Hyde died on December 21, 1932.
The children of Louis and Mary Hyde included Arthur Dwight Hyde, Louise Hyde MacNair,
Jane Hyde Hoyt, Howard Earl Hyde, and Reed Warren Hyde.
Arthur D. Hyde worked at General Mills from 1928 to 1961, resigning as an executive
vice president. From 1961 to 1968 he was president of A. O. Smith Harvestore
Products, Inc. Arthur died in Owatonna, Minnesota in 1990.

The Reed and Hyde families papers document the genealogy, family life, and business
activities of the Hyde, Reed, and related families over a span of a hundred years.
The papers include correspondence, diaries, financial records, photographs, and
estate materials of Louis H. Hyde, hs wife Mary B. Reed Hyde, her father Samuel B.
Reed, Louis and Mary's son Arthur D. Hyde, and Mary's sister Jane Earl Reed Dwight
and her husband Arthur S. Dwight. Smaller files of correspondence and biographical
material exist for numerous other family members, notably Fannie Ella Hyde Harwood,
Mary A. Howard Hyde, Reed W. Hyde, and Julia Hyde Evans.
Extensive genealogical research files were created primarily by Arthur D. Hyde in the
1980s in preparation for a planned family history volume. These files contain
research and copies of correspondence and other documents for the Hyde, Reed, and
many other related families including the Dwight, Harwood, Evans, Hoyt, Howard,
Bennitt, Wilcox, McNair, Grinton, Preston, Rowen, Sikes, and Howk families.
Business records are mainly related to Wilder Farms, Pipestone Flour Mills, General
Mills, and the Union and Central Pacific Railroads.
