- Gould Reynolds, of southwest of Leroy, died Friday morning at 9:20 after a long illness. He was 64 years of age and an old resident of the vicinity. He leaves eleven children six sons and five daughters. His wife has been dead for a number of years. The deceased was a member of the Odd Fellows and K. P. lodges. The funeral will be held on Monday and will be conducted by Miss Thompson, of Indianapolis, spiritualist medium. The children are as follows: Ora E. Reynolds, of 809 West Mill street, who is employed as an electrician with James Gray, of this city; Clinton C., of Leroy; Maude, at home; Mrs. Charles Lohr of Moreland, Ia., and Dollie, Myrtle, Norma, Cody, Herman and Toney, all living at home near Leroy, and Pearl, living in Leroy. The Daily Pantagraph, Saturday, December 19, 1914 The remains of H. T. Reynolds, who was killed by an I. C. train at Buckley early Sunday morning were brought here on the early morning train Tuesday and taken to the home of Fred Sawyer. H. T. Reynolds was born in McLean County Jan. 25, 1871. He was married to Lovina Sawyer and to this union six children were born. They are: Roy, of Canada; (?) of Kentucky; Merle, Harry, Gladys and Louise at home. They have been living for several years on a farm near Buckley. Mr. Reynolds had been a member of the Leroy Christian church for a number of years and also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. Funeral services will be held at the Christian church Friday afternoon at 1:30, in charge of Rev. R. D. Brown of Davenport, Ia., assisted by Rev. Leroy (F?) Sargent. The interment will be in the family lot in Oak Grove cemetery. There was only one witness to the accident, that was the engineer of the I. C. train that struck Mr. Reynolds. He stated at the inquest that the tr! ain was forty minutes late leaving Champaign and were running at the rate of forty or fifty miles per hour. As they neared the depot at Buckley a man was waving his arms to flag the train. The speed of the train was greater than the man anticipated and before he got off from the track the engine struck him. The verdict as given out by the jury was that H. T. Reynolds came to his death by being accidently hit by engine 1085, pulling train No. 22, I. C. railroad, going north at Buckley station, in Iroquois county, Dec. 23, 1917. The Daily Pantagraph, Wednesday, December 26, 1917 Information was received by Chief of Police Lang, of Bloomington, Saturday, of the death of Stanley Reynolds, formerly a Leroy resident, in a fire in Boston, Mass., where he had been employed for some time. Chief Lang learned that a brother of the deceased, Gould Reynolds, lives in the country near Leroy and that Mrs. Estella Ross, of the Ross hotel is a daughter. The letter received by the Bloomington officer is self-explanatory, containing all of the particulars known here of the death of the man. This is printed as follows. Boston, Mass., Jan. 11, 1912. Fred A. Lang Chief of Police, Bloomington, Ill. Dear Sir: - At a fire in building 91 Federal street, this city, on the 9th inst., the elevator man, one Stanley D. Reynolds, was killed. Nothing is know here of his relatives other than a report that he has a daughter married and living at Bloomington, Ill. The body is in the city hospital morgue awaiting a claimant. Any assistance you may render on locating Reynolds' married daughter would be appreciated. You might give the informaiton to the newspapers and if she is found and not able to care for her father's remains, a gentleman in this city, Mr. Alfred Bowditch, No. 28 State street, says he will ship the body to relatives at his own expense. Very truly yours, WILLIAM H. PIERCE Superintendent of Police Mr. Reynolds had not been a resident of Leroy for twenty-five years. He lived in Bloomington after leaving here, having been employed as night clerk at the Butler house about twenty-five years ago. He would have been (5?8) years of age, had he lived until the 26th of next month. He leaves his wife, who is a resident of Leroy, a son, Morrell Reynolds, and daughter, Mrs. Estella Ross, of Leroy. There are also two brothers, Gould Reynolds, a farmer near here, and Charles, who farms near Amboy. Mrs. Ross wired the authorities at Boston Saturday night to ship the body here and in now waiting for a reply. The burial will be made in Leroy cemetery. The Daily Pantagraph, Monday, January 15, 1912 News of Leroy - Two Funerals Held Yesterday - Large Attendace at Each Two funerals were held at Leroy yesterday. The first was at 10:30 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Ross, and was over the body of the latter's father, Stanley Reynolds, who lost his life in a fire at Boston, Mass., on January 9. At noon Thurday the body reached Leroy from the east. Rev. G. E. (Scrimger?), of the M. E. church conducted a short service after which the interment was in Gilmore cemetery. The Daily Pantagraph, Saturday, January 20, 1912
