Reynolds. In Napoleon, Ohio, July 8th, 1886, of Dropsy, Elijah Reynolds, aged 81 years, 9 months and 16 days.
The night of darkness which has enshrouded the life of the deceased since 1876, at which time he became totally blind, was endured with quiet submission. His patience and cheerfulness daily, through years of intense pain and suffering caused by a complication of diseases, gave to those who cared for him abundant evidence that death was for him only a release from pain, and an entrance into peace. "Life's fitful fever o'er, he rests well."'
