I'm trying to trace my ancestor Maud Reynolds, who's mother Mary Catherine Shumate died in 1887 and who's father Henry J. Reynolds died in the great gunpowder explosion of 1890 in Kings MIlls Ohio.
It is my understanding that Maud went to live with her maternal grandparents for awhile after her fathers death and then moved in with the Wilson family from Kings Mills Ohio.
Maud, had a an older sister Florence O. Reynolds Reis, a brother, my grandfather, Walter D. Reynolds, who died in California in 1923 and a younger sister Katie Reynolds Foltz who died in 1934.
Would appreciate any information you can give me on this family or what happend to Maud...she would have been around 9 years old when her father Henry J. Reynolds was killed. Her guardian was a George G. King.
Thanks
Judy Reynolds
