Biography

Anna M. Morrison Reed anchored her family in Laytonville with a warm home, a calm voice, and a keen sense of responsibility for the small town's celebrations, organizing winter suppers and caring for neighbors' children when travel was rough.

She cherished the songs sung on front porches and the errands carried out in cheerful company, always making room at her table, and is buried in Laytonville Cemetery, where the community remembers the motherly kindness she freely offered.
