Biography

Her marriage records identifies her as daughter of Josiah Reynolds.^[1]

A more detailed marriage record indicates her father was 58 in 1899, and that her mother was deceased (and is not named).

She is found as a newborn, enumerated with her parents, and many siblings in Machias, Maine, in 1880.

Her mother is Margaret, b about 1844 in New Brunswick (of an at-sea-born father, and England-born mother).^[2]

She has a Find-a-Grave profile without a photographed tombstone; it claims she died 27 June 1915.^[3]

This is probably right; on the 1918 draft registration of her husband, he does not list her as his closest relative.
