General Notes: Husband - Gilbert Lafayette Reno

---

He was reared in Shenango township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, beginning in his third year, at which time his father moved to the township and bought a large tract near the township's center from John Reno, his brother, one of the pioneers of the county, to whom a patent for the land was issued April 6, 1787, before the adoption of the Constitution, and signed by Benjamin Franklin.
Mr. Reno attended district school until he was eighteen years of age, and supplemented this elementary education with collegiate work at the college at Edinburg until he was twenty-one years of age. He commenced teaching school at the age of eighteen, and thereafter taught several winter terms, his summers being occupied in farm work. When he attained his majority, he bought a farm, and two years later married. He owned seventy-eight acres, which were for the most part utilized in growing fruit and vegetables, for which a ready market was found at New Castle, some five or six miles away. During the Civil War at the time of the raids in Pennsylvania by the irregular rebel general, Morgan, he served in the State militia some three months.
His wife and family were members of the Baptist Church. In politics, he was a Prohibitionist, and served as auditor for the township. He was a member of the P. of Husbandry, and of Hazel Dell Grange, No. 333.
