Ex Speaker Reed Dead in Portland Burial of Legendary Maine Lawmaker
Thomas Brackett Reed, longtime Maine congressman and House speaker, died in Washington after midnight last Saturday. Born October 1 1839 in Portland, he rose from local schools to Bowdoin and a legal career, becoming attorney general of Maine and later defeating Senate and House norms to preside as speaker. His famous quorum counting and Reed rules reshaped parliamentary procedure, earning national stature before retiring to New York law practice and Portland life. He is survived by his daughter and widow Susan Merrill Reed.
