Patrick William Reardon
(29 Jan 1871 - 17 Sep 1926)
Patrick W Reardon
From "Quincy and Adams County, Vol II, 1919":
Patrick W. Reardon is one of the best known public officials of Quincy and has been active in politics and affairs for a number of years. He is now serving his second term as police magistrate of Quincy, having been first elected in 1911 and again in 1915.
Mr. Reardon was born in Quincy January 29, 1871. His boyhood education was acquired in the parochial schools. He has always manifested a commendable degree of public spirit and has been associated with men who earned their livings by definite and positive service. As a young man he worked for some time as a freight car checker with the Burlington Railroad. At the same time, realizing some deficiencies in his education, he attended night school and thus prepared himself for larger responsibilities. For about five years he also worked as a freight checker for the local offices of the O.K. Railway. Mr. Reardon in 1895 became a patrolman on the Quincy police force and ten years later was taken from the police department and made clerk of the Police Court, where he served six years, until his first election as police magistrate. Judge Reardon has been one of the local leaders in the democratic party of Quincy for a number of years.
He is of Irish parentage, a son of Michael and Amelia (Burns) Reardon, both natives of County Limerick. His father came when a young man to New York City. The girl he had grown up with and pledged his troth to in Ireland followed him somewhat later and they married in New York City and immediately after their wedding came west to Quincy, where they spent the rest of their days. They now rest side by side in St. Peter's Cemetery. The father died at the age of sixty-six and the mother at seventy-four.
Patrick, the youngest of the family, married Katherine E. Daniels, who represents one of the oldest families of Adams County. She was reared and educated in the county districts. They have two children, Catherine A., born Aug 27, 1907, and John born March 2, 1910. The family are members of St. Rose Catholic Church and Judge Reardon is a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Western Catholic Union, the Woodmen of the World, and for two years, 1916-1917, served as president of the local branch of the Eagles.
