RAYVILLE
February 1904
GEO. M. REYNOLDS
On the afternoon of February 23d, George M. Reynolds passed from earth in the 84th year of his age. In the death of Mr. Reynolds, Rayville loses the central and most prominent figure of the society and neighborhood and a blank is left which will not be filled. Erect and active in body and mind as in middle age, with all the weight of years, it was never possible to think of him as an old man. Nearly 59 years since he was married to Mary M. Ray, by the late Judge George C. Clyde. Of the large company who witnessed the ceremony, only the writer and two others are living. Mrs. Reynolds survives. So perfect a union of man and woman as all these serene and happy years have proven is seldom seen.
Mr. Reynolds was born and has always resided in the house in which his last days were passed. Born in the Friends Society which was for many generations the faith of all of this region, he was one of its most active and vitally interested supporters. Its decay by the gradual death of its members and final extinction, was one of the few troubles of his life. Always a firm and stalwart republican, his party was never able to induce him to accept a nomination for office, though many earnest efforts were made and his place at the polls was never vacant.
No child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, but from a daughter and grandchildren by adoption, they have received most devoted and faithful service. In all the 59 years it has seemed that life flowed on like a river, but a work dropped sometimes has indicated a fear of the time that must come when the one would be taken and the other left and it has come to the frail and stricken wife. the funeral services were held at the house on Friday conducted by James Stringham. Interment in Friends burying ground.
