October, 1894 to Joel
Martin "Mart" Potter in Whitesburg KY. This is our Grandmother (Granny).
She was the most precious person in the world to me. I miss her every day
even though I lost her years and years ago.Eliza Frances Reynolds was considered to be a
very beautiful young woman. In beauty contests she would be asked to remove
the rouge from her cheeks when she didn't have any on. She was a tiny little
woman who took after her Grandmother, Mary Chaney Stone Reynolds who was
very small in stature and barely weighed 80 pounds.
Our Grandmother (Granny) once had considerable
property that was rich in coal, but she somehow lost it. It is believed that
someone very cunning took it from her and she never got it back. She died
with nothing and there was no inheritance for any of Dad's children. It's
very sad and a great mystery to me.

he was a prohibition officer and was killed while making a raid of

Old Regular Baptist Church.
The article below
was from the Louisville Courier.
The journalist described John Reynolds
as an unusually handsome man who talks splendidly. He accounted that no one
would "take him for" an outlaw.
From The Article in Louisville Courier 1901;
In a column of twos, the party rode as fast as the
road permitted, right on to the Reynolds' stronghold. The road hid them
until within 200 yards.
Suddenly Noah Reynolds, with a big pistol at his side, appeared on the back
porch. He came out to the front gate. The posse tumbled off the horses.
"There's no-one here, boys," said Noah Reynolds. We've come for John, said
Sol Wright. "He is too bad hurt to go," said Noah. We want to see him,
then."
Without a word, Noah Reynolds led the way past the little square brick
building used a a stronghold, into the big house.
John Reynolds lay on a bed with his arm exposed. He was ill from the fever
of his wound. No one would ever take him for an outlaw or a man credited
with a killing. He is unusually handsome, talks splendidly, and
like Morgan Reynolds, John Reynolds was a school teacher.
