Notes for Mark H REYNOLDS:
Jefferson Township High School
Cook Co, Illinois October 23, 1885
Mr. Mark Reynolds and Family
Dear Friends: Your recent bereavement has prompted the pupils and teachers of the Jefferson High School to send to you the accompanying testimonial of the esteem in which the departed was held by us.
We mourn the loss of the mother of our pupil and schoolmate, and with him we sorrow.
Our sympathy is extended to the family, and in common with them and a large circle of acquaintances throughout our township we feel the loss of a public spirited, earnest working Christian.
Earth's songs with her have ended, but we rejoice in the belief that the "sweet singer of Israel" is now in the choir of the Redeemed.
Sincerely yours,
C.A. Cook
Principal Jefferson Twnshp High School

Notes for Matilda L HUNTING:
From Autograph Book of Matilda Hunting
Dedicated April 30, 1864

It may be your privilege to move the world by reason and the stern logic of facts, but is it not rather yours to strengthen faith in your own perception and love of the beautiful instead? Alexander and Raphael have lived and conquered yet whose was the greater victory? One conquered by the force of arms; - the other by the spirit of beauty; one stamped his soul in blood, - the other in sunlight. (Love?) - Mattie - you may not catch and imitate the rosy light of the summer (cloud?) with a Raphael, or sweep the trembling lyre with a Mozart, or make the cold marble speak pleasure or stern agony; - but a far brighter page of the book of Life is open wherein it is yours to write. Painters are we all - of our own and others life scenes - scenes of whose gorgeous beauty Raphael never dreamed. It is ours to paint in glowing colors - Charity, Confidence and Holy Love so that when our work is done - though blotted here and there with many tears - God will approve.
With great respect
Yours - M. H. Reynolds

Letter written to Mattie Hunting:
Nashville Tenn.
June 12, 1864

Long, long ago I wrote to my dear friend at Lima hoping soon to be the joyful recipient of one of her ever welcome and interesting letters. But alas, my expectations were only a castle in the air for I have heard nothing from her since.
Why is this delay? Has she forgotten me? I hope that is not so but that I may soon realize my expectations and from patient waiting suffer no loss.

NEWSPAPER CLIPPING

'Matilda Hunting (Mrs Reynolds, now dead) a singer of twenty-five years ago, will be remembered by many. She had a voice of great beauty in quality and was a charming singer who always touched the hearts of her listeners. She was leading soprano in the First Presbyterian Church of this city for several years....
Miss 'Cornie' Hunting who died some twenty years ago, when quite young, gave great promise. She was a daughter of M.S.Hunting, formerly of this city, and a sister to 'Mattie' Hunting (Mrs. Reynolds) who recently died in Chicago.

Montrose
Died: October -- 1885, after a few days of struggling and terrible suffering from diphtheria, Mrs. Matilda A. Reynolds, leaving a husband and four small children, two boys and two girls, to mourn her loss.
Such is the common announcement which conveys the intelligence of death to a listless world, or overwhelms with grief the bereaved and loving ones left behind to mourn the loss of one so amiable, so kind, so useful, so loving and self-sacrificing.
The casual reader merely sees the name. He knows not who she is nor pauses to give it further thought. The more thoughtful experience pang as the tender words "leaving a husband and four small children, two boys and two girls to mourn her loss," is read. But to those who knew her the announcement strikes deep into the heart and brings back all the tender recollections of her womanly virtues, her sweet Christian character, her exalted piety, her devotion to family and friends, and all the sterling qualities that belonged to the credit side of her life and works, while those near and dear to her who were loving and beloved are bowed in sorrow and overwhelmed with grief at her loss.
Mrs. Reynolds was born in Lockport N.Y. and enjoyed the benefit of a polished education, both classical and musical and possessing to a high degree...traits of character which go...the perfect woman, and ...thereto, and combining therewith the rare gift of vocal culture and intonation, she at once became the admired of all admirers, the favorite of all favorites and though...with praise, and deluged with flatery, her meekness of disposition was never counterpoised nor tarnished with vanity.
Marrying at an early age, she cast her fortunes with her husband coming west, and settled with him at Irving Park, when she drew around her the local musical talent, as well as the best elements of society--and while she was the idol of her associates, she became unconsciously the beloved of the entire community.
Her tender heart and benevolent disposition led her into dangers to which great strength and vitality must have succumbed. But always unmindful of self when to her duty pointed out the way and unwittingly exposed her..confronting dangers of disease? with calm..
Having just passed through a severe trial of watchfulness and care over her beloved Ralph, her youngest son, and being in an exhausted state of vitality, disease found an easy lodgment, and by exposure, she became the victim of malignant diphtheria, and a martyr to self-sacrificing benevolence, and has gone to reap her reward.
Mortals weep at the loss of such an exemplary character, and angels weep at their grief; but they forgot not to bear the liberated spirit of one so pure, so angelicto its place of Heavenly rest, and the influences of her last words in holy council to those most dear to her, aided by her dearer and sweeter memory, magnified by her absence here, will exert a lasting and holy influence, and buoy the hopes of those who witnessed the closing scene, and stood in mute and silent grief at her bedside, while the struggling spirit, liberated from its frail and transcient tenement of clay, winged its way heavenward.
