Reynolds at Des Moines, Wednesday morning. Mr. Reynolds had passed his ninety-seventh birthday. Not withstanding the loss of the sense of hearing and seeing whereby he possessed remarkable vigor for one of his age. Twelve years ago his companion who before her marriage was Miss Sarah Lower, passed to her eternal reward and since that time the aged father has made his home with his daughter and son, Mrs. J. G. Goss and A. W. Reynolds, being at the home of the latter when death claimed him. His son and wife did everything possible to make his closing days pleasant and to cheer him on the final journey. Mr. Reynolds, or "Grandfather" as he was known by his most intimate acquaintances is survived by the following children: Eliza Ann Goss of Ollie; Joseph Henry Reynolds of Harlan, Iowa; Silas Wesley and Allen Wiley of Des Moines, Benjamin Franklin Reynolds, now of Irwin, Iowa, Edgar Warren of Topeka, KS, Hiram Culvin Reynolds of Oklahoma, and Francis Marion of David City, Nebraska. Three children: Lucinda Jane Vitteto, William Harrison and Albert Clinton are deceased. He also leaves 51 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. Benjamin Cornell Reynolds was born at New York on July 19, 1819 and died at Des Moines, Iowa, Wednesday, October 3, aged 97 years, 2 months and 15 days. Benjamin Cornell Reynolds was married in Fayette Co. Indiana and here some of his children were reared. In 1852 he moved to Iowa where he has since resided. When a young man Mr. Reynolds made a profession of his faith in Christ and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a conspicuous figure in the work of the church in his native state being at one time a class leader. He was a good man, conscientious in life, temperate in habits, honorable in his dealings with others. He spoke well of everyone he had known having malice toward none and charity for all. In late years he was because of certain physical disabilities denied certain church privileges. Yet many were blessed by the influence of his quiet, modest and retiring manner and disposition-- Ollie News.
