He would soon have been 75 years old. Mr. Reidy was a native of Troy and spent his entire life in Troy and in Springfield Township, where, for many years, he was a prominent cattle buyer. Of recent years, he spent much of his time with his daughter, Mrs. Charles May, and family here. Of sunny and companionable disposition, he made friends easily and held them. Largely attended funeral services were held at 2 o’clock p.m. yesterday from the May home, rev. L. F. Basford officiating, and burial was in the family plot in Harkenssburg Cemetery. He is survived by two sons; Walter, who lives on the Reidy farm, Charles of Elmira; one daughter, Mrs. Charles P. May, Troy. There are two sisters living; Mrs. Michael Leary and Mrs. Michael McInerny, Buffalo (Troy Gazette Register).
