"Amazing Minnie" article

I now have a biography of Minnie Josephine Reynolds, later Minnie Reynolds Scalabrino, Wait Reynolds Loveless's aunt on his mother's side. It also mentions Helen Marion Loveless.

Beyond the interest of her career as a journalist and a suffragette, this article offers a few details about her family and upbringing in Norwood, NY. Specifically, the article mentions that she grew up at 29 Prospect Street and that Wait Reynolds, her father, "operated a successful lumber business with his brother, Elisha, was active in community affairs and one of the first village trustees when Norwood was incorporated in 1871" (Plested, 19).

The researcher credited for this information is Potsdam historian Susan C. Lyman, who has written a book on Norwood. It includes more information on Wait Reynolds, and an electronic copy of it is available here. Perhaps I'll write another post on this book later.

Here is the full citation for the biography:
