Biography

Pearl Reed was an Oklahoman.
Notables Project
Pearl Reed is Notable.

Rosa Lee "Pearl" Reed was born in 1868 in Missouri to Jim Reed and May (Shirley) Reed who later was known as "Belle Starr". Her early life was filled with turmoil during the post Civil War years and the death of her father in 1874 during his capture by Marshalls after a crime spree. She spent some time with her paternal grandparents until her mother settled in the Cherokee Nation, IT with then husband Sam Starr.

As a young adult Pearl had a relationship that produced an out of wedlock child. Although she would later marry several times and have other children, during some periods of her life she turned to prostitution, capitalizing on her mother's notoriety to publicize her brothel in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. In later years she moved to Arizona and is buried there.

Hi! The default text/parameters for the Oklahoma Sticker were recently changed. See Template: Oklahoma Sticker for current information. No need to do anything if you're ok with the sticker's text being "Pearl Reed was an Oklahoman."

Cheers, Liz
