Lincoln County Journal Feb. 20, 1914

Mrs. A. M. Reddish of the Corso neighborhood who we announced as being very sick last week, died at her home Saturday at the age of 69 years. She had been sick for a week, the cause of her death being locked bowels. Mrs Reddish was the widow of the late Wm. Reddish, who died about three [30] years ago, and was the mother of seven children, a number of whom survive her. She was on of the pioneer settlers of that part of Lincoln county and resided there most of her life. She was known and loved by practically everyone in the community and her departure from this world will cast a gloom over her many acquaintances. Funeral services were conducted at the house Monday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. Father Carr, pastor of the Millwood Catholic church, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Liberty cemetery near Corso. The services were largely attended by the relatives and friends of the deceased.
