Barbara Eckstein was born at Darien, New York, January 11, 1854 and died at her home in Farnam, Nebraska, March 12, 1936 at the age of 82 years, 2 months and 1 day.

She was united in marriage to Roswell Reynolds on July 23, 1871. To this union were born three children, one daughter and two sons; Mrs. Ella Anderton, Edgar, Nebr.; Clifford, Farnam, Nebr.; and Austin G. who died when three years old, and a foster daughter, Mrs. Nellie Boyle, Cozad, Nebr. There are five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, with other relatives and many close friends who are left to mourn her going.

The husband and father passed to the great beyond, January 27, 1933.

Mr. And Mrs. Reynolds moved from New York to Iroquois county, Illinois in 1879. In 1885 they moved to Edgar, Nebr., and in 1892 they moved to Farnam which was their home with the exception of two years spent at Wallace, Nebraska. They were among the early settlers in this community having spent about 42 years here.

In Edgar, Nebr., Mrs. Reynolds united with the Methodist church, and arriving in Farnam when there was only a Congregational church, she united with this church. Mrs. Reynolds will be greatly missed by relatives and many friends, especially her neighbors. A loving mother a conscientious christian and splendid neighbor has gone to be with her God.

Pallbearers were: S. B. Cameron, A. B. Thrasher, J. V. Dawson, O. L. Hudson, A. LaBounty, and Henry Roetter.


Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam;
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For though from out our bourne of time and place
The food may bear me far.
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

The Farnam Echo, 19 March 1936
