Eugene Reding dies of gunshot wound

Eugene F. Reding, 39, of 1310 Lane, died Friday evening of a gunshot wound while his wife, just outside the door, told a police officer of his suicide threat.

Reding, a farmer and heavy equipment operator, had lived in the Rossville – St. Marys area most of his life. The family had moved to Topeka in September.

Police said the wound apparently was self-inflicted. He was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Francis Hospital.

He was born May 6, 1923 at Rossville and was a member of The Immaculate Conception Church at St. Marys and Holy Name Church, Topeka. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, Kansas Council.

Survivors besides his widow include the two children, Larry and Jane of the home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Reding, 1515 West 15th; a brother Edward Reding, 1201 Jewell; and a sister, Mrs. Margaret Royal, 744 Highland.

Funeral services were held at 9 a.m. Monday at Holy Name Catholic Church with interment in Mount Calvary Cemetery. The Brennan Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
