General Notes: Husband - David L. Reynolds


He obtained his first instruction in the Vance school, later in the Pancake school, and subsequently entered Washington and Jefferson College. Afterward he prepared for the bar with attorney William Montgomery, but never sought admission. His home was always on his farm, 160 acres of fine land, situated in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, four and one-half miles east of Washington. He was born in the old house which then stood on the later site of the barn on this farm and before his marriage he tempered the brick which was being manufactured on the place, and carried it and assisted in the building of the new residence. He also hauled the material which went into the construction of the substantial barn. Much of the land was under a high state of cultivation, but there were still ten acres of timber and the coal had not been sold. His son, George Reynolds, operated here a small dairy and shipped his milk from Zediker Station to Pittsburgh.
In politics Mr. Reynolds was a Democrat. For thirty-seven years he served as a school director. For thirty-five years he was a justice of the peace in his township and during his service was very successful in inducing litigants before him to agree to a compromise. Very often he was called upon to settle disputes in the county regarding the possession of farms.
He united with the Odd Fellows in 1854, and for over fifty years was a member of Lodge No. 81.
