In the passing of +. H. Reynolds
the community looses one Of its
choice spirits. Quiet ard unassum-
ing in manner, optimistic in tempera-
ment, warm nfriendship, faithful to
duty, and devout in religion he en-
joyed the respect of men and died In
peace with God. Eugene Hale Rey-
nolds was born in Canisteo, N. Y, on
October 30th, 1859, and departed this
life in Paw Paw, Michigan December
9th, 1917 at the age of fifty-seven
years, one month and six days. At
the age of ten years he moved with
his parents to Bay City, Michigan
where he lived for about thirty years
the greater part of which time he
was engaged in the retail shoe busi-
ness. In 1899 he moved to Houghton,
Michigan where he lived for about
fourteen years and was also engaged
in the shoe business. On July 10th,
1900 he was married to Mrs. Gertrude
Jilbert of Houghton. To this union
were born two daughters, Emily and
Helen. In 1913 Mr.. Reynolds bought
a farm in Paw Paw where he moved
with his family and lived until the
day of his decease. When he was
seventeen years of age Mr.. Rey-
rolds became a christian and united
with the Baptist church. In this
church at different periods of his life
he held offices of Sunday School Super
intendent, Deacon, Trustee and Treas
urer. He was very Jealous in christ
ian service. At hrs departure he is
survived by a wife, two daughters,
a step-sor Alfred Jilbert, sister
Mrs. S. E. Campbell of Plymouth,
Michigan, and brother E. +. Rey-
nolds of Detroit. Besides he leaves
large circle of friends by whom he
will be greatly missed. Funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon
in the parlors of the Baptist church
and burial was made in Prospect Hill.
The biggest deal ever consummated
in the history OF baseball was closed
this week, when Alexander and Kille-
fer, the star Phillie battery was sold
to the Chicago cubs. The consider
alton in the deal is said TO have been
considerable in excess of $4,000 in
addition to two other players who
figured in the deal. Alexander and
Killefer have been the star battery
of the Philadelphia club for several
seasons, and the work of both players
has been little short of phenomenal.
Alexander has won ninety-four games
III the last three years and is with
out a peer in this department of the
game. Killefer's work in his depart
ment ranks as high as does Alexander
as a pitcher. Baseball critics have
selected Killefer as a member of "The
All American" team, and sporting
writer's on all the metropolitan papers
proclaim Alexander and Killefer 1.-TWO
of Baseballs greatest stars" He
is selected by experts as the games
leading catcher, and Pat Moran, man.
ager of the Phillies, pays him the tri-
butte of "Being in class by himself"
killefer is now on the coast in Cali
fornia, and it is not known how the
deal will satisfy him. While he was
perfectly satisfied with his berth at
Philadelphia, it is probable that he
will be pleased with the change, as
it will bring him little closer home.
One thing is sure and that is he will
De gratified with the fact that Alex
ander goes with him in the deal.
