Photograph of Allen and Emily Lighthall Reddish

Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Reddish, who reside at 2245 R street, celebrated the fiftieth 
anniversary of their wedding Tuesday. Just fifty years ago they were married at 
the home of the brideÕs father, Rev. William A. Lighthall, who also officiated at 
the wedding. They came to Nebraska City in November 1867, and in March of the 
following year moved to their homestead ten miles southwest of Lincoln where 
they remained until 1890 at which time they came to Lincoln to live.

Mr. Reddish is the second of a family of ten children. He was a soldier in the civil 
war, having enlisted in 1862 in Company H, Ninth New York cavalry. Mrs. Reddish 
was an only child in her family. She received her education at the Ellington 
academy, Chautauqua county, New York.

On July 10, 1884, the golden wedding of his parents was celebrated at 
Wyoming, New York, and on January 9, 1909, the golden wedding anniversary 
of his oldest sister and her husband, Mrs. and Mrs. James Thomas, of 
Ashland, was celebrated. At both these events Mr. and 
Mrs. Reddish were present.

Mr. and Mrs. Reddish were the parents of five children, only one of whom 
is living, William B. Reddish of Seattle. The day yesterday was observed by 
a family reunion at the home of Mrs. Ed F. Reddish, 2945 R street, who 
tendered the aged couple a dinner at the noon hour.

NOTE:  Allen was the brother of Adelbert Reddish.  
He and wife Emily died and are buried in Retsil, WA.
