Harry Newell Reynolds (1867-1917)
of 26 East 92nd Street, New York City; President of the Berlin Laboratory, Ltd.
He was a manufacturing chemist with offices at 225 Fifth Avenue. He was President of the Berlin Laboratory, Ltd., chemists; Treasurer and Director of the Dayton Arcade Company, and a director of several other corporations. After retiring, he was in poor health with a weak heart which led to him taking his own life in one of the bedrooms at his home, 26 East Ninety-second Street. Mrs. Reynolds entered his room last evening to see whether he needed any medicine and found him stretched across the bed, dead. A revolver with one chamber empty lay on the floor. He had shot himself, apparently, in the afternoon, but the case was not reported until late that evening. His wife was not the daughter of Charles T. Barney, as has been mistakenly recorded on several websites, she was in fact the daughter of Eugene Barney, of Barney & Smith, Manufacturers of Railway cars at Dayton, Ohio. They were the parents of two daughters.
