The family urged him to try his other hand to draw and with much effort he was able to use his creative artistic talent -- certainly not to the extent of his ability to create with his former hand, but it certainly assisted him to come out of a very low-esteem period when he was very depressed."

1348	Notes of Lois Jean Reid Edwards: Thomas (Tom) Reid married and hadtwo children. He was unable to find employment and became 'a King ofthe Road' seeking employment. He knew the schedules of the trains andcould hop from one to another to get where he wished. His wife diedwhen the girls were small, so they were left with his wife's parents,the Clarks. He came back to visit many times. About 1932 when timeswere very bad, he came to Punxsutawney and lived with his brother,Robert and wife, Bert. He was a great help around the house as hecould cook and clean. All the brothers in the family kept him inclothes and a little spending money. This information is from RuthReid Neal, Tom Reid's brother, Robert's, daughter. Ruth spoke fondlyof him. She said he was killed in the railroad yards of Elgin,Illinois, although some in the family say Taylor, Illinois. Cliff Swanthought he died in 1934, but Jean Reid Edwards thinks 1936 as sheremembers him visiting in their home overnight. Andrew Reid's obituarydated 29/1/1932 lists Tom as a Punxsy resident. Mary and Margaret,Tom's children, went to live with Belle Clark Reid's parents after shedied. They took the Clark name. Family members tell they lived inClymer at one time. Still searching.
