| Letter from Mary Temperance Fay Reynolds to Corydon E. Fay, Jr. |
| Provided by Thelma McQuater Owens Contributed by Douglas Ernest Griffin |
| Written to her brother, this letter is especially poignant, since both of them would be dead within ten years. Corydon was killed in the Civil War a year and five months after this letter; his tombstone lies in the Royal Oak Cemetery, Michigan..* And Mary Temperance Fay Reynolds died March 28, 1871. |
| It should be noted that in 1860, the Reynolds were living with Mary's father in Royal Oak, Oakland, MI; in 1870, they were in Southfield Twp. of Oakland County. It does not look as if Nelson got his own farm. |
