General Notes: Husband - Ross Reynolds
He was born on in-lot No. 128, Kittanning borough, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and received his literary education at Lambeth College, Kittanning. He read law with the late E. S. Golden, was admitted to the bar of Armstrong County Sept. 3, 1877, and was actively engaged in practice thereafter until his death. He was also connected with business as one of the officers of the Armstrong County Trust Company, of which he was vice president at the time of his death, which occurred suddenly. Mr. Reynolds' great success in his chosen profession entitled him to be recognized as one of the foremost practitioners at the Armstrong County bar, and he was one of the most influential citizens of Kittanning, where he always made his home. His brother lawyers paid him the high compliment of consulting him frequently, appreciating his clearsightedness and excellent judgment as only members of the profession could.
From an article which appeared in the Kittanning Free Press at the time of his death: "Whatever he said, on any subject, was well worth listening to. His clear insight penetrated the most difficult and intricate problems very quickly and he had the faculty of dissecting any legal question brought before him rapidly and ably. His legal acumen was developed to a high degree. . . . His learning extended beyond his own professional studies, as many who have conversed with him on theological and medical questions can attest. His mind was versatile, making him a rare conversationalist; his reading was broad, making him an easy speaker; his studies were thorough, making him a user of choice language, pregnant with solid facts. He was a man who gained and held the love and esteem of all, and in his passing away we deeply feel the loss that all have sustained.
"When the news was flashed over the town and county. . . . that he had died, there were few of those who knew him who did not feel that he had received a stunning blow. Right in the prime of his life, when his career never seemed brighter, when his great learning and ripe experience in his profession had advanced him easily but naturally to the front rank, death came to him; and with his taking away there exists a vacant place that will be hard to fill. . . . It seems incredible that we will see Ross Reynolds no more, that we will no longer have the sincere pleasure of his sociability; for to his fellows no characteristic of his shone more brilliantly than this. His keen shafts of wit, seasoned with sarcasm, only served to make him better loved by those with whom he associated."
Such was the high opinion of his professional attainments and personal character held by the members of the Armstrong county bar and the citizens of the county generally. The funeral services were held at the residence, corner of North McKean street and Union avenue, Rev. F. C. Hartshorne, the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, officiating, and the remains were buried in the Kittanning cemetery. The court officers and members of the bar attended in a body.
