Poppa's Hat Here is a link to the YouTube video with Henrietta Kimbrough Holcomb performing the family ritual inducting Robert Edwards Matthews Reed into the Reed family, proper. The baby bonnet used was first worn, so it is said, by Lewis Jarvis Reed. We don't know for sure who made it.
Lewis Jarvis Reed was born on 22 December, 1856. Robert Edwards Matthews Reed was born in 2000.
