General Notes: Husband - Withington Reynolds

He was a mere boy when he came with his parents to Kittan­ning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he ever afterward had his home. He received his education in the public schools at Pittsburgh, and all his life was a great reader, acquiring a fund of practical informa­tion which made him one of the most intelli­gent men of his community. He was endowed with a wonderful memory, was a pleasing con­versationalist, and when in a reminiscent mood was most entertaining. He was familiar with the early history of Kittanning and steamboat­ing on the Allegheny. For some time Mr. Rey­nolds had charge of the Kittanning office of the Piper & Lightcap stagecoach line, running between Kittanning and Brookville, and later was connected with a packet line plying be­tween Mahoning and East Brady. At that time the Valley road ran only as far as Mahon­ing, and when it was extended to Oil City he was made freight and passenger agent at Kit­tanning. This position he filled efficiently until his retirement seven years before his death, after which he received a pension. Mr. Reynolds had a large circle of friends, being one of the best known men along the Allegheny river. He was a mem­ber of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in political sentiment was a Democrat. He was a high Mason, and the Masons at­tended his funeral in a body and conducted the services at the grave in Kittanning ceme­tery.
