N.O. Reynolds
Inscription
Lieutenant Nelson Orcelus Reynolds was a noted Texas lawman. Born in 1846 in Pennsylvania, Reynolds served in the Union army during the Civil War. In 1874, he enlisted as a Texas Ranger in Blanco County. Reynolds captured the Horrell brothers and forced them to sign a peace treaty to end the feud with the Higgins faction.
As a result, he was given command of the newly formed Company "E." Reynolds was later responsible for jailing, transporting, and guarding John Wesley Hardin for his trial in Comanche County. He retired from Ranger service in 1879 and later served as Lampasas County sheriff. He married Irene T. Nevill in 1882.
The couple had two children and lived in Center Point, where Reynolds was buried after his 1922 death. (2010)
