OBITUARY:
PIONEER OF 1855 DIES
THOMAS HARRISON REYNOLDS WAS SALEM RESIDENT
RETIRED STATION AGENT WHO PARTICIPATED IN INDIAN WARS LEAVES WIDOW.
Thomas Harrison Reynolds, a pioneer of 1855, Indian War veteran and for 40 years an employee of Wells Fargo & Co., died Thursday night at his home 953 East Twenty-ninth street North, from injuries suffered during State Fair week, when he fell from a railroad train at Salem. Mr. Reynolds was 77 years and 9 months of age. Born at Independence, Mo., January 12, 1840, Mr. Reynolds crossed the plains to California at the age of 13 years, and two years later, in 1855, came to Oregon as a messenger to a regular Army officer, with whom he was stationed at The Dalles. When the Indian wars broke out a few years later Mr. Reynolds was commissioned First Lieutenant. Subsequently Mr. Reynolds learned the printer's trade. He afterwards "stuck type" on The Oregonian. Mr. Reynolds began his long period of service with Wells Fargo & Co. as driver for the company's office at Salem. In 1910, after having filled that position for many years, Mr. Reynolds was retired on a pension and has since made his home in this city.
Mr. Reynolds is survived by his widow, Mrs. Josephine Schwatka Reynolds, and a son, Tom S. Reynolds, both of this city, and a daughter, Miss Mellie J. Reynolds, of Chicago. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
