Show Ella Reynolds notes birthday As sprightly as ever, although al-though she has had two major mishaps which would have lain a less-pert person low, Aunt Ella Reynolds, Sunday, was on hand to answer the phone and greet her many good-wishers on the occasion of her 87th birthday. Not a few of the messages were from friends here and out-of-town, for whom she had given programs. One of these greetings, she especially prized, came from Robert Thorn, her former neighbor, now bishop of the BYU 12th ward, where she gave a Sunday evening program recently. Others were from her many admirers who had sat in audiences as she gave out bits of good humor and philisophical advise. Mrs. Reynolds has always lived in Springville and her name has been linked with activity in club, church and civic affairs for many years. She lives alone at the J- O. Reynolds family residence, 190 South Second East, but in her own words, she never gets lonely as she reads and writes so much and then gives of her time and talent to others. Such lines as: "Don't feel sorry for yourself, pity the poor people who live with you," is a sample sam-ple of the humor which Mrs. Reynolds puts her timely talks which are also spiced with some modern versions of well-known well-known verse. Amont the many relatives who called on her birthday were her daughters Birdella and husband John Y. Bearn-son Bearn-son of Springville and Bess (Mrs. V. C. Mendenhall) who came from Las Vegas in company com-pany with a daughter and son-in-law, Arden and Nida Childs of Cedar City. |
