Notes - Reding moved as a small child to Prairie Township in Washington county in northwest Arkansas. It was in this county that he spent the rest of his life.
As a young man, he grew up in a full household that contained four generations of Putmans. His grandmother, Prudence, lived with them through the 1830s and 1840s, as did his aunt Lavinia. In addition to his own brothers, he had the Rizley children living with him. His father, Reding senior, was taking life a little easier by then and had time to spend with young Reding.
Reding ran, unsuccessfully, as a Liberal candidate for the office of County Clerk in Washington County in 1872. He continued to practice medicine for several more years until he retired. He then went into business with George Reed in the business of running a general merchandise store in Fayetteville. He finally retired for good shortly after 1900.
