man, the Association has acquired the custody of the original official die and seal of Monmouth County.
The original Clerk's book of minutes of the Township of Middletown covering period from January 2, 1695, to March 17th, 1848, now in our Library, has been copied at the expense of our Society, to be used instead of the original, which is quite worn, and needs to be handled carefully.
Of the one hundred insignia of our Associa- tion, all have been sold excepting sixteen ; it is probable we shall soon need to have more struck from the original dies.
We have now nearly completed the tenth year of the existence of our Association, and considering that the interest of our members is so well maintained, we think we have just cause for congratulation.

Founder President Emeritus
Mrs. Caroline Gallup Reed was born in 1821 at Berne, near Albany, N. Y.
In her early girlhood she moved to Albany where her father, Albert Gallup, held a County office, and was afterward a representative of Albany County in Congress.
Through her father's and mother's line she is de- scended from old New England stock.
In 1851 she married the Rev. Sylvanus Reed, who was rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Innocents in Albany until 1862, when he moved with his family to New York City, to be rector of St. George's in Beekman Street. He died in 1871.
In 1864 Mrs. Reed established a finishing school for young ladies. She is widely known through the high reputation of the School which she conducted more than thirty years.
In 1895 she retired from active life and now lives in her New York home during the winter. Her Summer home is at Redemont, near Navesink, N. J.
Mrs. Reed celebrated her ninetieth birthday last August. She has four children-all living.
She is a member of the Daughters of The Amer- ican Revolution, the Colonial Dames and the Society of Mayflower Descendants.
Her husband was third in direct descent from Gen. James Reed, New Hampshire, through which line her eldest son is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
Though not of New Jersey descent, Mrs. Reed's strong interest in Colonial and Revolutionary his- tory, led her to take the first steps which brought about the foundation of the Monmouth County Historical Association.
