5th October at his residence in the township of Union, Branch County, Michigan 
in the 86th year of his age. Mr. Reynolds was born the 6th of May in 1786 near 
Providence, Rhode Island and was the last survivor of his father's house.  In 
early life he gave his heart to God. He was a consistant christian, he lived 
his religion and his works were abundant evidence of his faith.  His life was 
one of hardships and trials such as seldom falls to the lot of one man. He was 
one of the pioneer settlers of western New York, locating there previous to the 
war of 1812. He was driven from his home by the British and Indians suffering 
considerable loss. He eventually returned and for forty years aided in 
improving the country and ameliorating the condition of the inhabitants; in 
turn clearing land, tilling the soil, teaching school, etc. A man of strictest 
integrity, upright in his dealings with men. Few have enjoyed to a greater 
extent the respect and confidence of all that knew him.  From New York he 
removed to this County where he resided to the time of his death. Beloved by 
all who knew him and leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn 
his loss.
