REEDY.


Hiram Reedy, aged about "A
years, died at Ocean City, New Jer-
sey, Wednesday, July 10th, and the
remains were brought to Milford on
Saturday, July 18th, and inferred in
the family plot in Odd Fellows Gem
etery. He was the only living
brother of Ex-Sheriff Frank Reedy,
of Milford, the last of that large
family of men who were prominent
in public affairs from the Civil War
up to the World War, period of
fifty years. Hiram was the young
est Of four brothers. The oldest,
William, was a captain in the Civil
War and served four years in active
service in it, and remained in the
Army for nearly twenty years after
that war ended. He took an active
part in. the Indian Wars in our
Western country, and resigned his
commission to engage in raising
thoroughbred horses in Western
New York. James, another brother,
was merchant in Smyrna for sew
eral years, but died about forty
years ago. Frank Reedy (now liv-
ing in Milford, and "a years old)
was a sheriff in Kent county thirty
years ago, and in those days politics
was stormy sea of strife. He was
elected twice, but only served one
term-because the Democrats of
Kent controlling the returning box
ard of the county, threw out most of
the large Republican majorities and
took Ne office for the first time Mr..
Reedy was elected. The only sister
in the robust Reedy family of those
days was Elizabeth, who married
Rev. T. B. Hunter, and now many
years deceased. Hiram, the young
est of all, grew to manhood in Mil
ford and assisted in his fathers
then large shoe and hat store. He
married lady in Pennsylvania and
opened the first exclusive boot and
shoe business ever conducted in
Dover. From Dover he went to
Philadelphia where he became in
terested in large wholesale busi-
ness, until a few years ago, when
he retired. The Reedy family were
ardent Republicans. The men were
large, splendidly proportioned and
handsome in appearance. Hiram
was especially affable, smiling and
Jolly companion. From early school |
days to the closing down of the cur
tain of life for him, the writer and |
Hiram Reedy were friends. Only a |
few weeks before his death he visit |
ed Milford, and for just few brief |
minutes we turned back the pages |
If memory, then parted happier, for |
he last time.
