A legal notice was published in the Enterprise (Omaha, Nebraska) on 05 dec 1896 and for several weeks thereafter, concerning a marriage of Lowell W. Reedy: "PUBLIC NOTICE. — LAW OFFICE OF Wm. SIMMERAL 250 & 352 BEE BUILDING. To Maggie Parman Reedy, non-resident defendent. You are hereby notified that on the second day of December 1896 Lowell W. Reedy filed a petition against you in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, the object and prayer of which is to have the marriage entered into between this plaintiff and defendant set aside on the grounds that said defendent was, at the time of the marriage to plaintiff, duly married, and that the marriage had not been set aside or annulled; and that this plaintiff was ignorant of said former marriage. You are required to answer the said petition on or before the 27th day of January 1897. Lowell W. Reedy, by Wm. Simmeral his attorney." The divorce itself was eventually granted, reported in the Omaha World Herald on 20 may 1897, and mentioning that the name of Maggie's first husband was Percey J. Miller. Another notice mentioned that Reedy's marriage to Maggie had occurred on 26 jun 1892.

After her divorce from Jacob Reedy, she apparently married a Stapleton. In the 1880 census, as Katie Stapleton, age 36, she is identified as a married daughter of Gideon and Luisa Ready in Topeka, Kansas. However, she is also listed as divorced in a separate household with her Reedy children.
It seems likely she married one of the sons of John and Melissa Stapleton who died in Macon Co., Illinois about 1855. Another daughter of Gideon Reedy, Emily Ann, born about 1859, married James William, a son of the Stapletons, born in 1851 in Decatur. The Stapletons were married in Springfield, but by 1850, they were in Cedar Co., Iowa. By 1875 (Kansas State Census), James W. Stapleton age 23 (or perhaps 20, the last digit is not clear) and his wife ? Emily A. age 16 were in Mission, Brown Co., Kansas, and living next door was Thomas Stapleton age 32, with no wife, but with 4 children, the oldest age 12, and the last 3, ages 3, 5, and 7, born in Kansas. If Thomas had recently lost his wife (he had married Asenith Beach in Macon Co., Illinois in 1862), he might have been the one who next married Mary Catherine Reedy, who divorced Jacob A. Reedy in 1875 in Shawnee Co., Kansas.

In the 1860 census, he is in Cazenovia, Woodford Co., IL, in the household of Joseph B. McCullough, a farmer (however, his birthplace is listed as Illinois instead of Pennsylvania). He is not with his mother in 1870 (Greene Co., IA). In 1880, he is in Orleans, Harlan Co., NE, with his wife and four children. His brother David, with his family, are enumerated on the same page. His family was in Beatrice, Gage Co., NE in 1900 and 1910, then in Pomona, Los Angeles Co., CA for the 1920 and 1930 censuses.
Some of his movements are explained in this sketch from Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska (1882, section on Gage County):
"O. K. REEDY, carpenter and builder, was born in Clearfield County, Penn., in 1851. His parents soon after moved to Dixon, Ill., while there his father died, and, in 1861, went with his mother to Woodford County, remaining there until 1868, when he went to Jefferson County, Iowa [probably Jefferson, Greene Co., IA, where his mother, two brothers, and step-father were enumerated in the 1870 census], remaining a short time and learned the cabinet-making [his step-father James A. Carpenter was a cabinet maker]. In 1870, came to Nebraska and located at Plattsmouth [Cass Co., NE], remaining there about one year; thence to Crete [Saline Co.], and then to Nebraska City [Otoe Co.], remaining there until 1873, when he went into Harlan County, Neb., and opened a furniture store, which business he was in about eighteen months, when he took a homestead on Section 20, Township 3, Range 19 west, living on the farm five years. On getting his deed, he took a pre-emption on Section 29, Township 3, Range 19, and has planted several thousand trees, and various other improvements. Was married in 1872, at Lincoln, Neb., to Miss Catherine Sherritt of that place [Thomas and Mary Sherrill and their children, from Missouri, were in Beatrice, NE from at least 1860]. They have five children, viz: Oliver T., Mary B., William H., Elwin H. and James A. Is a member of the Temple of Honor."
The obituary of his brother David M. Reedy (1935) says that Oliver was then living in Pomona, California. Oliver's obituary notes that he had come to California in 1910. His wife died in Pomona in 1932.

Oliver Reedy family found in Harlan Co. NE 1880 census ED 31 p. 12 line 26, thus nearby to John and John R. McDougall families. Exact birthdate was found in IGI, as were his children and wife. Birth date is also found in death record.
