REYNOLDS, J.T. - Word was received from Boonsboro Saturday that Capt. J.T. Reynolds had died there that morning at 5 o'clock. While his death has been expected at any time for the last 2 months yet its realization caused general sorrow here where he was universally known and respected. Capt. Reynolds was no ordinary man. He was descended from the first families of Virginia and was endowed with a strong intellect and a remarkable constitution. His father was wealthy which afforded him the opportunity of a good education and on arriving at manhood. Capt. Reynolds had a well cultivated mind stored with useful information. The war came on when he was yet a young man and he espoused the cause of the confederacy and during the 4 years of death and destruction he was in the saddle and became known throughout Tennessee for his deeds of daring. He moved to Washington county about 12 years ago and after residing on Cane Hill for 2 years he moved to Fayetteville where he remained until 2 months ago when he resigned the position of city marshal because of failing health and moved his family on a farm near Boonsboro to await the end which he knew was not far in the future. On learning of his death Rev. J.J. Vaulx left for Boonsboro to conduct the funeral exercises which he did on Sunday in the presence of a large number of friends. Capt. Reynolds was about 57 years of age, was a member of the Episcopal church, a Mason and a Knight of Honor, in the latter of which his life was insured for $2,000.00. He leaves a widow and several children who have the sympathy of all our people in their sad affliction.
