General Notes: Husband - Tilton Reynolds

---

He and his brother, William, moved the western Pennsylvania, and first resided on the lands later occupied by the mining village of Rathmel in Jefferson County. The first fall of their hermitage life they captured fourteen swarms of bees, and these, together with an extensive sugar industry, were exchanged for other necessary products, such as grain and salt, and also had bear meat and venison, supplied by the brothers.
In 1839 he located on the summit of the mountain above Rathmel, and, associated with William, inaugurated a mercantile enterprise and established a post-office. The name of the village was suitably called Prospect, for from its lofty altitude the view was picturesque and widely extended. The title was in poetic contrast to the postal name given the place at a later period\emdash that of Dolingville! He discovered the great coal vein of that region, which gained a world-wide celebrity, and became one of the most extensive bituminous industries of the continent.
