Bruce Ricketts- Distinguished Patriots and Pioneer Business Men Among Ancestors It was only last October that Col.

R. Bruce Ricketts and his wife celebrated together, and with their immediate family, their golden wedding Last week Col. Ricketts peacefully ended his days at his summer home at North Mountain and yesterday morning his wife- the companion of the half century, also passed most peacefully, and without struggle or pain, at her home on South River street, this city. She had been sitting up, and merely saying she was a little faint and would recline, she was gone in a moment. To their many old friends this passing of two who had been so closely knit in life, and neither of would have esteemed the prolongation of their days without the other, seems a thing more merciful and most beautiful- despite: the regrets and the sorrowings of those bereaved.

Elizabeth Reynolds Ricketts was the daughter of William Champion Reynolds and was born in Plymouth. Her father was among the earliest to engugeun the anthincite coal business in this valley and for years he was associated with Henderson Gaylord: in that business. Her ancestry was of New England, 1643, James Reynolds being the first of that name on these shores: The family thereafter lived in Litchfield, for generations and they became identified with this valley before the Revolution. In 1769 came representaof the family to Wyoming Valley. David Reynolds was witness to the articles of of Fort Durkee, 1769, Pennamite war.

He WAs probably in the battle Wyoming, and his brother William was killed in the fight. David was one of the block house garrison Plymouth the winter and spring of 1778-9. The family fled the valley after the Massacre, but reappeared, were expelled by the Pennamites in 1784. and their home and barns were Benjamin Reynolds of David, and sixth from James Reynolds of Massachusetts, was descended son his mother's from the Greene's of Rhode' Island, the same stock from which Gen. Greene sprung.

Benjamin was in turn Justice the peace and sheriff of Luzerne County. He married Elizabeth -Fuller, three of whose ancestors landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620. One of eight children of Benjamin Reynolds was Hannah, mother of George R. Bedford, of this city, and another was William Champion Reynolds, father of Mrs. Rickets.

She was one of five children and she outlived them all. Charles, a brother, died in 1865. G. Murray, Sheldon and Benjamin were for many years honored names In the local business world. William Champion Ricketts was also one of the first public spirited men to adopt and foster the scheme of internal improvements, for.

He was also trustee of Wyoming Seminary, was appointed by the auditor general manof the Wilkes -Barre Bridge Company, and a director of Wyoming Bank. He was among the first shippers of anthracite coal from this valley, and was in the coal trade until 1854-part of the time with Henderson Gaylord. Mrs.

Ricketts' uncle, John Smith, was also. a pioneer. in the coal business. He was the first to use powder for blasting it, and he set up and used the first steam engine in Luzerne County. In his day coal was largely used for forges, but Mr.

Smith did more, perhaps, than any man of his time in demonstrating its domestic use for burning in grates. He visited many sections anthe, State in this pilgrimage and results was the rapid extension of coal mining. Mrs. Reynolds. was as a' younger girl and as matron among the most highly esteemed women of the valley.

She was at various times and through her more active years identifled with various associations of religious, charitable and social character, and WAs ever faithful in these responsibilities. Her character won friends and held them, and she had that indefinable quality better described, than in any other term, in the word charm. her later years she had not been in health and for the past years not been active in matters of the community. had always been particularly devoted to her home, and to her family and intimates.
