Reding, Peter, (page 1203), Lake City, was born in Sheldon, Wyoming
county, New York, April 6, 1845. His parents, Henry and Mary C. (Weber)
Reding, were natives of Luxemburg, Germany. They came to Red Wing in 1867,
and died there. The subject of this sketch passed his early life on his
father's farm, and received a limited education in English and German.
After spending two years in the Pennsylvania oil regions, he came to
Minnesota in 1868. For six years he dwelt in Belvidere, Goodhue county,
and then purchased the northeast quarter of section 8, Chester, which he
still owns. This he dwelt on and tilled for nine years, and removed to
Lake City in the fall of 1883; is now conducting a saloon on Washington
street. On September 1, 1872, he was married to Miss Kate Glasner, who was
born at Port Washington, Wisconsin, of German parents, and is ten years
her husband's junior. Their children were born and christened: March 31,
1876, Isabel; April 5, 1880, Jacob Peter. All the members of the family
are communicants in the Catholic church. Mr. Reding was elected by his
democratic friends for three successive years as constable of Chester, and
seven years as supervisor.
