William H. Reed, Sr., helped to rescue Oliver H. Brewer and Alvah Dean from a cave-in in a well, Frederick, Oklahoma, October 28, 1913. (See case of CHARLES ZOLNINGER.) Reed, 39, laborer, followed Zolninger and Gordon to the top of the debris and remained at the foot of the standing wall to hand articles down the hole as they were needed. Men called to him frequently to leave the well, saying that the wall was about to fall, but Reed remained until work under the debris was discontinued and the second cave occurred. He then went to his home. 13260-1067
