  • Introduction

    Francis "Bus" Reedy was a barber for awhile in Dunlap, IA as was his father, and like his father, left that to go into farming on a farm 3/4 mile west of Soldier, IA. In his younger days he played a lot of "town baseball" being a good pitcher. Bus was so much fun and had a great sense of humor and a ready smile and laugh. He and his wife Gladys (nee Nelson) got my dad, my brother and I into fishing trips and picnics. He loved to use the old fashioned hand-cranked ice cream maker and made homemade ice cream for us when we visited. He was really afraid of storms so if it looked like one could produce a tornado it was off to the cellar. He loved his wife Gladys (my mother's first cousin) and supported her hobby of collecting small "statues" of horses, keeping very large goldfish in the horse tank, and enjoyed Gladys' precious little pug dog named Tiny. After retirement they moved into Soldier where they lived for several years. Eventually their health required they move to Elmwood Care Center in Onawa, IA. where they were living when they passed away. Bus and Gladys were memorable people and made a host of friends along the way.
