Reynolds - George Lewis

Source: Unknown newspaper

George Lewis Reynolds, son of Lewis and Mary Reynolds, was born July 20t 1846 at Westfield, Ind., and departed this life February 27th, 1910, at Whittier, Cal., aged 63 years. He was married January 4th, 1876 to Sarah Binford at Thomtown, [Thornton?] Ind. To this union two daughters were born, both of whom died in early infancy. He was converted to Christ in early youth and never after lost the evidence of his acceptance with God. He has been for many years deeply interested in the cause of temperance and especially since the burning in effigy of the late Gov. St. Johns has been known to give his last penny for the cause. He was stricken with the disease which terminated his life Oct. 10, 1909, and has been a great sufferer ever since until death relieved him. He did not expect to recover, and made all arrangements for his final departure. He sometimes seemed to be granted a sight of his mother, little daughters, and other departed ones, which greatly rejoiced his heart, the end coming as a peaceful sleep. The funeral services were led by Andrew F. Mitchell, J.J. Mills and Erwin Tabor, and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. (Thanks to Bobbie Snow for this obituary)
