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.
