Note on Husband: William Guthrie REYNOLDS - shared note

William Guthrie was born along the Platte River in southwest Grant County, Wisconsin. He was the fifth of nine children born to his parents, George Reynolds and Susanna Potts, shortly after they moved to Wisconsin from Mercer Co., PA.

 

On January 28, 1865, William enrolled in the Union Army for service in the Civil War. He enlisted in Madison Wisconsin for a period of one year. Because of his young age, he was a water boy and a drummer. He was a private in Company I, 50th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers. After being camped at Madison for 2 weeks, he became ill with measles, complicated by a cold. He was left with weak lungs. About the 15th of September, 1865, while at Camp Leavenworth in Kansas, he became ill again with "general debility" and was transferred to a hospital at Fort Randall where he remained until his honorable discharge on February 22, 1866. He received a pension based on his disability and chronic lung problems contracted while in service. It is said he was not able to do "one half of a man's labor in any one day".

Note on Wife: Emoline DRAKE - shared note

Emoline and William had 12 children. All were born in Wisconsin between 1869 and 1894. Three of the children died young. Emoline was thirteen when she married. She kept a big swarm of bees for "pin money". Because William had "weak lungs" as a result of a chronic problem that developed when he was serving in the Civil war, most of the work of keeping the farm going fell on Emoline's shoulders. She was a strong and willful woman who devoted much time to the smooth running of her large family. In moments of relaxation she would often sit by the kitchen cook stove and whistle or hum a tune. She would move her feet in time to the music ina kind of sit-down-dance. She once told her grand-daughter, Edith, that the tune she hummed was called "The Eighth of January". Edith remembers that Emoline smoked a corn cob pipe filled with Indian tobacco.
