"The funeral of Mrs. Parmelia A. Reynolds, wife of Laderna Reynolds, was 
held at the Andrews Settlement church last Wednesday at 11 o'clock, Rev 
James Herrick, Universalist minister of Whitesville, officiating. The 
singing was beautifully rendered by George Forsyth and wife, of 
Whitesville. The floral offerings consisting of roses, carnations, and hot 
house ferns were very beautiful. There were a large number of relatives 
from other towns among whom we noticed Mrs. Marcena Coats and son, Charles 
and his wife, Harmon Coats, Cass Coats, and Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbeak of 
Whitesville; Wallace Gleason and wife, Mrs. Sam Coats and Mrs. Ella Allis, 
of Genesee, Robert Turner and wife, of Oswayo; Myron Reynolds and wife of 
Ellisburg; Melvin Reynolds and wife, Mrs. Melvina Reynolds,and George McKee 
and wife, of Whitesville; and others whose names we did not learn. Mrs. 
Reynolds is survived by her husband, who is in feeble health, and two sons 
George and Allan and one daugher Mrs. Kate Sykes and three grandchildren. 
Mrs Reynolds will be greatly missed in her home for she was a devoted wife 
and mother. She will also be missed in the community for she was a kind 
and obliging neighbor." hand written on the announcement is the year 1911.
