Army First Lt. Wayne Reed of Springdale, left, had his life ahead of him. Shown here with Ada Lee Smith (later Ada Lee Shook) at Smith’s home in Fayetteville, they were engaged to be married. Lt. Reed was a Springdale High School graduate, a paratrooper during World War II, and earned a business degree from the University of Arkansas. He returned to military service in March 1951. On May 10, 1952, he was killed in action in Korea, leaving behind his fiancée, parents Albert and Nannie Reed, and two sisters. He was 25. On this Memorial Day we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

It’s #PhotoIDFriday! 📸🚩 Can you help us solve a local history mystery from the early 2000s? We are looking for identifications for this group of anti-war protesters captured on October 26, 2002. The photo looks to have been taken right on Dickson Street in Fayetteville. While we think we recognize one or two faces in the crowd, we want to make sure we get it right! Can you help us identify the people in this image, or perhaps the exact buildings and storefronts behind them? If you recognize a face, a place, or remember this day, please let us know in the comments! 📢 Note: If you share this post to your own page, please tag the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History so we can see your responses and save this valuable info for our archives! Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! ✨ Photo from the Shiloh Museum’s Cyrus Dean Young Collection (S-2003-152-3854). #ShilohMuseum #FayettevilleAR #DicksonStreet #WashingtonCountyAR
