surprise for them Sunday when
they were invited to the home of
their son, Raymond and feted in
celebration of their fiftieth we'd

Miss Kate Petsinger and Henry
Reding were married at the St.
Mary's church at Lake City, in
1886. Steve Reding a brother of
the groom now deceased was best
man and Mary Reding, sister of
the bride (now Mrs. Anton Ruby)
of Sleepy Eye was bridesmaid.
They began housekeeping on a
farm near Lake City and later
moved to a farm near Bellchester.

moved to the Noes farm near
Sleepy Eye. Mr.. and Mrs. Reding
later purchased a farm mile
from what is now the village of

is now the Reding homestead.
