Mrs. Ann, better known as "Aunt Nancy" Reynolds, died at the home of her son-in-law and 
granddaughter, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Long at Juniata, a suburb of Altoona on Wednesday last, aged 
98 years.

The deceased lady, whose maiden name was Ann McClarren, was born in Ireland, but in early life 
emigrated to America.  She was twice married, her last husband having been James Reynolds who 
died in Summerhill in 1892.  Thereafter she lived with her granddaughter, removing with the family 
from Summerhill to Altoona last fall.

Mrs. Reynolds had a large circle of relatives and hosts of friends in the community in which she lived.

Peter and Sally Sweeny of Lilly; Mrs. Roes Dunmyer of Conemaugh; and Mrs. Mary McVey and Mrs. 
Jennie Grosser of Johnstown are her nephews and nieces.  F. P. and James Gillen and the McKennas 
of Gallitzin; the widow and the children of the late T. L. Parrish of Loretto; F. C. and Lambert George 
of Lilly; Mrs. Alice Farrell of Johnstown; John H. and Charles Kennedy of Braddock; A. G. Kennedy 
and Mary Kennedy of Freeport and Mrs. S. S. Shultz of Swissvale are distant relatives as was also the 
late Mrs. John McCormick of Johnstown.

Mrs. Reynolds was a lady highly esteemed in the community in which she lived as a kind hearted 
charitable person, a devoted wife and mother and a faithful member of the Catholic church.  The 
funeral took place today after a high mass of requiem in St. Bartholomew's church, Wilmore, by the 
rector, Rev. Father James B. Egan, interment in the cemetery nearby.
