C., Thursday, August 10,1967 Mrs. Teague Takes Course at Chicago, Funeral services were held Wednesday morning in Col umbus, Ga., for Richard Reed, Presbterian College rising rising senior and star foot ball player from Columbus, who was killed in an early morning automobile accident last Monday. PC football players and fel low members of Kappa Alpha fraternity served as honorary pallbearers for the popular athlete. He was attending PC summer school at the time of his death. Death struck at 4:35 a.m. Monday, when the 1965 Dodge Dart in which he was driving alone ran head-on into a bridge abutment on U.S. High way 276 at S. C. Highway 250 near Travelers Rest. Coroner George W. McCoy said the 22-year-old Reed probably died instantly. Rescuers work ed for several hours before the victim’s body was freed from the wreckage. Reed was returning from the weekend wedding of two PC friends, Dan O’Connell, Jr., of Spartanburg to Myrtle Ann Reddick in her Fort Val ley, Ga., hometown. His girl friend, Martha C. Talbert of Aiken; was in the wedding, and Reed had dropped her by a summer camp near Tuxedo, N. C., where she works as a counsellor. He was continuing back to Clinton to attend his Monday morning classes when he apparently went to sleep at the wheel. The Presbyterian campus and Clinton community were stunned by the sudden death of the young man who had captured the admiration of all as a fine athlete and who personified the best in Amer ican youth.

Saturday, Monday RICHARD REED was a “terrific shock to even the small children of the com munity. He was a great ath lete, but more than that, he was a fine Christian youth.” Reed had played three pre vious years of football for PC, and he was one of the few modern-day college ath letes to earn three letters in one year — adding basketball and track to his football hon ors. His pass-receiving abil ity ranked him among the top ends of the Carolinas Confer ence, and he was expected to be a strong candidate for all conference honors in the sea son ahead. Last year, he caught 36 passes for more than 500 yards, a feat which already had professional foot ball teams giving him atten tion. In addition, Reed per formed all of the punting and place-kicking duties for the Blue Hose. Among the survivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Reed of Columbus.
