Hope this Reynolds belongs to someone - fantastic obit. From: The Lawrence Journal Vol 11, # 15 pg 3 col 1 31 August 1850 "Mrs. Elizabeth Reynolds, consort of Robert Reynolds, died of paralysis, in Neshannock township, Lawrence county, on the 5th of June, 1850, aged 69 years. "Mother Reynolds had been a member of our church forty years. She was among the first fruits of the pioneer of Methodism in this region. Sister Reynolds was converted at a campmeeting held near New Castle, Pa. After her conversion, her house became the resting and preaching place of the itinerant preachers. A. Watts, Ruark, Weslake, Elliott and others, have often been made welcome at her house and table. "As early as 1805, with her husband, she came into the new country, and with him shared the toils and privations incident to a pioneer life. After her conversion, when but few dared to be Methodists, she bore not only the cross, but the ridicule and contumely which was heaped upon them without stint or measure. But God sustained her. "As a companion, mother and christian, her life has been a practical comment on our holy religion. Her disease deprived her of the use of speech, until shortly before she died. One of her daughters approached [illegible words] and asked her if she was happy. "O yes, yes," said she, "praise the Lord, praise the Lord;" and soon the pulse ceased its beating, the weary wheels of life stood still, and mother Reynolds was in heaven. "Her presence in the family circle will be missed, but her prayers and counsels will not be forgotten. And while her voice has ceased in the class room and love feast, she has joined that voice with "ten thousand harps and voices," in the music of heaven, among cherubim and seraphim. And when this throbbing dust of ours is stilled in death, may the writer and reader, with our sainted mother, join the chorus of the skies, and live to die no more. " E.B. Lane
