Display to honor Sheridan

congressman

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Historical Society will be presenting a display in Floral Hall during the Chautauqua County Fair commemorating the life of Congressman Daniel A. Reed, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives for the district including Chautauqua County from 1919 to his death in 1959.

Reed was a native of the town of Sheridan and made his home in Dunkirk for most of his adult life, when he was not in Washington, D.C. He is now buried in Sheridan Cemetery on Center Road. The display will show some of his accomplishments while in service of our country and the seven presidential administrations he served under.

A ceremony is being planned for Saturday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m. to dedicate a plaque to be placed at his gravesite in Sheridan, which acknowledges his service in the U.S. Congress. The plaque has been funded by the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, the Reed family, and various local donors. The ceremony in September will be held at the gravesite with a reception following at the Sheridan Historical Society building.
