Wife of Glen Reynolds
On Friday, November 1, 1889, Sheriff Reynolds began a trip to Yuma. He was to deliver eight Indian Prisoners, including Apache Kid, to the prision there. Mrs. Reynolds feared for her husbands life and pleaded with him not to go, as she knew the Apaches were dangerous men. As Mr. Reynolds kissed his wife goodbye he told her, "Gussie honey, let's not go over that again; I'll make it all right. You just keep the pot boiling and the kids happy, and don't worry about me." The next day she was notified that the Indians escaped and killed her husband.
She buried her husband and returned to Albany to live out the rest of her life.
