James was born to John and Honora Reedy. At age four, he came to America with his parents and settled in Freeport, Illinois. On May 7, 1861, James married Mary Kane and had ten children, six of whom died in infancy.
Jim and his family came to Dakota Territory in the spring of 1883 and worked the Brule farm for a number of years. After moving to Beresford, he became engaged in the livery business for about four years. Afterwards, he became involved in farming to a limited degree. In 1907, he proved up on a homestead in western South Dakota.
Eighteen months before his death, James began to grow weak. Treatments proved to be futile; and after his death, his body was returned home for burial. He was survived by four of his children: J. L. Reedy of Beresford, SD; T. E. Reedy of Yankton, SD; Mary Graves of Nevada, Iowa; and Mrs. Kate Bulow of Beresford, SD. In addition to his six children, James was preceded in death by two brothers, Jeremiah and Patrick Reedy; and by two sisters, Mrs. Patrick Ryan and Mrs. John Ryan.
