Well-known lady 88 I next Monday Next Monday, January 20, will be "just another day," in the busy life of Mrs. Ella Reynolds, Rey-nolds, although she will observe ob-serve her 88th birthday. She will probably spend the day writing or memorizing bits of verse with which to brighten bright-en the life of someone else or perhaps she will phone a sick friend or send a card to someone some-one in the hospital. This is how she spends many hours of the day and at night two or three times a week, she if off to give a program for a church, club or other gathering gather-ing in town or out. Part of her philosophy is to always look for the best in people and try to make them happy. She was born in Springville of pioneer parents, Walter and Marie Ellen Wheeler, and her home has been here always. She was married to J. O. Reynolds, Rey-nolds, June 23, 1897. He passed away in 1946. Two of Mrs. Reynold's five sons and daughters are living: Mrs. John Y. (Birdella) Beam-son Beam-son of Springville; and Mrs. V. Cornell (Bess) Mendenhall, Las Vegas, Nevada; nine grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. Mrs. Reynolds is eagerly time, when she can get in her garden and when she can rake the leaves from the earliest spring bulbs. The corner of Second South, Second East, is made beautiful throughout the summer months with the variety of blooms which she has cultivated through the years. She needs very little time to prepare a program as she always al-ways has on hand, enough material ma-terial to entertain any age crowd a full evening. Her time and talent are always in demand de-mand by M Men and Gleaner age groups, and couples get-ing get-ing married, to funerals of old friends who have requested her to speak. |
