Major WiLLiaM F. ReyNoLDs’
DeaTH.—After having been confined
to his home, at the corner of Allegheny
and Linn streets, for about two weeks,
battling with a disease which had been
wearing at his wonderful constitution,
for three years Maj. Wm. F. Reynolds,
one of the best known, certainly the
wealthiest man in the county, died at
twenty minutes before three o'clock last
Sunday afternoon. Having passed the
seventy-ninth milestone of a prosperous
life he fell a victim to fatty degenera-
tion of the heart. Always active, re-
markably so for a man of his years, and
apparently healthy to the last he was
stricken in the way so common to men
of such age. For several years past he
had been subject to attacks of heart
trouble, but after a few days rest would
be about seemingly as well as ever, but
the disease was incurable and only bid-
ed the time when its ravages would pre-
dominate over the strength of the man.
William F. Reynolds, the third son
Democrat. He was methodical in his
daily life and frugal in his habits. His
later years were spent almost exclusive-
ly in the companionship of his nephew
W. Fred Reynolds, a son of the late
Hon. Samuel Reynolds, of Lancaster,
who has cared for bim in sickness and
beenhis active agent in business. His
home is a handsome structure of Hum-
melstown brown stone and was perhaps
the most costly in town.
His three brothers Elisha, Samuel and
Thomas have preceded him but re-
cently in death, but the others, John and
Charles, and his sisters Ann and Sarah
died when they were quite young.
Information gleaned from the most
reliable sources places his wealth at
about one and one half million dollars,
mostly invested in bonds and first mort-
gages. He owned 5000 acres of farm
land in Centre county and aside from the
tenement houses necessarily on them
he owned thirty others. The title of
Major was acquired through service on
of Thomas and Mary Reynolds, was
born in the little town of Mifflinville,
Columbia connty, Pa., on the 9th day
of June, 1813. His early education
was lintited to information that he could
pick up about his home, for when but
sixteen years of age he embarked in the
mercantile business in Berwick, Colum-
bia county, a town that boasted scarce
halfa dozen houses at that time. An
ambition that heralded his future suc-
cess led him from Berwick to Selins-
grove, Union county, whence he moved
to Danville, Montour county. He was
successful in the latter place, but in-
satiated desire for a faster accumulation
of wealth led him to take the advice ot
a friend and in 1841 he came to Belle-
fonte. It is said with a capital not
reaching $10,000 in amount he began
the business here which resulted in
ranking him the wealthiest man in the
town.
Various successful ventures made it
possible for him to retire from the wmer-
cantile business and in 1856 he began
devoting his time exclusively to his
landed and iron interests in the county,
but the business, though lucrative, was
not as active as he desired and in 1859,
having associated with himself Mr.
George W. Jackson, be founded tke
banking house of Wm. F. Reynolds &
Co., which flourished under his judicious
guidance until September 1890, when
Messrs. George W. Jackson, D. H.
Hastings and F. W. Crider succeeded
him and organized the firm of Jackson,
Crider & Hastings bankers.
He was the largest individual owner
of farm land in the ccunty. Many
thousand of Centre’s most fertile acres
are divided into the eighteen well order-
ed farms which he called his.own. The
great white barns with their red roofs
and little turrets, the comfortable tenant
houses and well appointed surroundings
that greet the eye of the stranger in
Benner township can, nearly all of
them, be spoken of as the property of
the late Maj. Reynolds, whose careful
management brought them into their
present high state of cultivation. He
was a farmer for the money that was in
it, but never considered the money
spent on improvements as anything
other than a good investment, conse-
quently his land is among the most
valuable in the county.
From raising grain he naturally
branched out to its manufacture into
bread stuffs and for a long time was
owner and operator of the large Phoenix
flouring wills in this place and of the
old Rock Forge mill, The former he
re:nodeled and made one of the leading
roller mills in the State. Not until
quite recently was the roller process in-
troduced in the latter, the management
of which be retained to the last, though
George W. Jackson succeeded him in
the Phoenix several years ago.
His natural money making powers
were wonderful. A dollar never went
into his hand but to be doubled. As a
merchant, as a banker, as a farmer, and
a3 a miller his one record wae success,
and be it said to his credit, that in all
the career that raised him from the bope-
ful beginner, on a capital of less than
$10,000, to the retired man commanding
over a million and a half, he never caus.
ed the property to be sold from one of
his creditors.
For forty-nine years he was a member
of the vestry and a warden of St. John’s
Episcopal church, at the corner of Alle-
gheny and Lamb streets. His munifi-
cance the church always enjoyed and
his gift of a rectorage in 1877 was evi-
dence that his christian spirit was sub-
stantial in its work for God.
In 1879 he presented the town with
the wonderful spring from which the
name, Bellefonte, is taken. Having be-
come its owner through successive liti-
gation and seeing, since under the Smith
deed of 1807 and the Harris deed of
1823, the town had “the right to use only
such water as would flow through a
three inch pipe from 1t and that for do-
mestic purposes only,” he recognized
growing demands and presented the
spring to the town. It now supplies
eight thousand people with water, fur.
nishes several manufactories with mo-
tive power, railroad engines with water
and enough flows awav to slake the
thirst of a million of people daily.
Maj. Reynolds was a bachelor and a
the staff of one of the early governors of
the State.
Funeral services were held in St.
John’s Episcopal church, on Wednes-
day afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Revs.
Benton, rector of St. Johns, and
Kline, of Allentown, officiating.
The honorary pall bearers were E. C.
Humes, John Blair Linn, Daniel Gar-
man, Austin O. Furst, Adam Wagner,
D. H. Hastings, George W. Jackson,
William Harper, F. W. Crider and
Wilbur F. Reeder. The church vestry
was represented by Wm. Zeller, Win-
field Montgomery, Dr. J. D. Seibert and
Dr. Geo. F. Harris.

His will in substance was about as
follows : His nephew W. Fred Rey-
nolds is appointed residusry legatee.
$100,000 and two farms is bequeathed
to Fred’s brother Samuel Reynolds Jr.
and Fred’s three sisters each get the in-
terest on $50,000. Mrs. Pierpoint gets
the interest on $20,000 which reverts to
her son Thomas at her death. She isa
daughter of the late Thomas Reynolds.
Mrs. Halcomb gets the interest on $20,
000 and her daughter $10,000 on the
event of her marriage. To all servants
who had been in his employ ten years or
more he gave $250 each. All the rest
of the immense estate goes to 'W. Fred

IT IMPRESSED ONE SENATOR AT
LeasT.— The Greensburg Daily Tri-
bune of last Saturday contained a letter
from Senator John H. Brown, of
Grapeville, who ably represents the
39th District in the State Senate, in
which he pays quite a compliment to
the Pennsylvania State College. Even
though be missed the dedicatory ser-
vices he must have been thoroughly
pleased with his visit. The following
excerpt from his letter will convey an
idea of the impression he received.
“Having returned last evening from
a pleasant visit to State College in con-
nection with the dedication of their
handsome new engineering building
and also the meeting of the Senate and
House sub-committee on roads, it oceur-
red to me your readers might be inter-
ested in knowing something of the pro-
ceedings on those occasions, as well as
our journey to and from the place.
Leaving the main line of the _P. R.
R. at Tyrone, on the 22nd inst., the
journey was made over the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad to the beautiful moun-
tain city of Bellefonte. Our train being
behind time we arrived here just in time
to miss the train over the branch road
that takes you to State College, twenty
miles away.
This caused us some delay here, but
finally, at 8 p. m., Representative
Swartz, of Monroe, and myself, left by
a special car, expecting soon to arrive
at our destination. Very heavy snows,
however, had fallen‘and it was greatly
drifted so that it required five hours to
make the journey. Large gangs of
Italians, in the employ of the company,
coming to the aid of the train and shov-
eling out a way for it. This was trav-
eling under difficulties, - but we finally
arrived at about 1 a. m., having missed
the evening exercises.
Upon our arrival a brilliant scene
Roop will get
about $2,500 out of the work he does on |
greeted us. At the capacious armory
of the College, we found probably a
thousand people assembled, including
“prominent officials and public men from
all over the State, as well as from ad-
joining States, with their wives, sons
and daughters assembled as the guests
ot the class of ’98 of the College in their
mid winter reception. To the strains
of what seemed the sweetest music I
ever heard, the immense throng were
‘tripping the light fantastic toe’” and
creating a whirling maze of youth and
beauty that nearly made one’s head
swim.
We were received by Gov. Pattison
and his staff in full uniform, assisted by
Governor Beaver, who by the way, is
the same affable, polished gentleman he
"has always been, and does not look a
| day older than when he visited your
town, and made such an able address,
some seven years ago.
Having been ushered in among “all
the beauty and grandeur of the evening,
I, for the first time, almost wished that
' 1 had been possessed of a ‘full dress”
| suit, something I was not so fortunate
as to possess. I guess, though, for a
plain old “country jake,” like me, . and
at my time of life, a dress suit would be
somewhat out of place.
Owing to delays of trains and; other
hindrances we missed the dedicatory ex-
ercises of the building devoted to the
department of engineering, but a visit
to it the next day showed it to be a
magnificent structure which has been
erected at an expense of over $300,000.
In tact the whole institution is a place
of great interest and we found much
pleasure in visiting ~it. Over twenty
buildings in the various departments
are found, the main building being a
mammoth and imposing stone structure
five stories high.” These buildings are
surrounded by a fine farm of several
hundred acres and the value of the
buildings and farm, with the college
equipments is estimated at $1,100,000.
We visited the various departments
of college and experimental farm work.
The siables are models of order aud in
the dairy we tasted of the cheese and
butter made on the spot.
‘We were kindly entertained by Presi-
dent Atherton and the faculty, who
spared no effort to make it pleasant for
us. In the administration cf the affairs
of the institution Dr. Atherton displays
great efficiency and executive ability
and under his care this ‘institution is
rapidly becoming an honor to the State
whose property it is.”

this place where for years he was the
agent of the Adams Express company.
~—— On and after April 1st the name
of the post office at Murray, Clearfield
county, will be changed to RKerrmoor.
The change will be made because of the
similarity of the words Murray and

consequent inconvenience in mail de-
livery.
——Major John Wynne, mayor of
Lock Haven, died at his home 1n that
place Monday morning at five o’clock.
He had suffered several weeks from a
stroke of paralysis that proved fatal.
Deceased was seventy-five years old and
was on the Pennsylvania railroad com-
pany’s retired list, having served as
train dispatcher at Lock ‘Haven for
twenty-five years.
In conversation with a Lock
Haven Express correspondent a Nit-
tany Valley farmer said that wild tur-
keys are starving on account of the deep
snows having covered the ground for so
many weeks. The turkeys enter the
farmer’s orchards, fly upon the apple
trees and with their wings hammer the
limbs of the trees until the frozen apples
fall, which they eat to appease their
hunger.
—— Mr. William Sterrett, a success-
ful ice dealer of St. Paul, Minn., and a
Centre county boy by birth and educa-
tion, was in town this week transacting
business and greeting old friends. He
came east to attend the funeral of the
late Joseph Mitchell, at State Col-
lege ; but on account of a wreck was
several hours late in getting irto Tyrone
thereby missing the morning train, the
only one by which he could have got-
ten to the College in time.
——Randolph Bryant, familiarly
known as “Doc’’ to Bellefonte people,
was found dead in bed at his home in
New Kensington, on Sunday morning,
where he had been working ever since
the Bellefonte glass factory closed.
Nothing is known as to the cause of his
death, having retired on Saturday eve-
ning apparently enjoying his usual
health. He was married to a daughter
of William Fisher, who lives on half
moon hill. His widow and two broth-
ers, William and Joseph, survive him.
