Granville Alvadore REYNOLDS, son of Marshall REYNOLDS, was born in Putnam County, near Manhattan, August 26, 1850, and died in Bloomfield, September 29, 1924; aged seventy-four years, one month and three days.
He married Hannah INMAN, September 13, 1873, and to this union were born four children. One son was accidentally killed when only seventeen years old. The other three are daughters and they are Mrs. Sarah ANDERSON, of Terre Haute; Mrs. Ida FOSTER, Bloomfield, and Mrs. Delilah CHAPMAN, Chicago Heights.
Of a family of eight children, only three survive—two sisters, Mrs. Margaret STOUGH, Terre Haute, and Mrs. Dora BOBBETT, Elnora, and one brother, George REYNOLDS, Terre Haute.
Mr. REYNOLDS spent his early life in Putnam and Clay Counties, coming from Brazil to Bloomfield about fifteen years ago to work in the brick plant. He has worked at brick making the most of his life.
On February 3, 1923, he was stricken with paralysis, and was confined to his room. Saturday, September 20, he had another stroke, which was the cause of his death.
In addition to the above mentioned he is also survived by his wife, several grandchildren and many friends.
He was a good man; of a kindly disposition; rather inclined to be humorous; he was unassuming and quiet, but loved people and enjoyed visits from his friends. When nearing the end he tried to talk to those who were at his bedside, but being unable to make them understand he pointed to an open door and upward, and the angels understood him, and said, “Come, rest from thy sufferings. ”
The funeral services were held in the Baptist Church September 30. Interment in Grandview Cemetery.
