David H. Reynolds (d. 1902) enlisted in 1861 from Rockville, Indiana, in the 43rd Indiana Infantry Regiment, and served for four years, holding the successive grades of private, corporal, sergeant, and second lieutenant. The regiment served in the Mississippi-Arkansas area. Its assignments included work with an inland fleet of gunboats and a march with two hundred wagons which resulted in the fall of Little Rock.
David Reynolds and his wife, Sarah B. Reynolds, later moved to Indianapolis. They had five daughters. Nell married J. D. Hobson, who sold Service Motor Trucks in Indianapolis. Eva, who never married, graduated from law school in Chicago in 1896. Florence, also unmarried, taught for many years at the Institute for the Blind in Indianapolis.
This collection, filling one folder, consists mainly of the Civil War diary of David H. Reynolds for 1 January to 26 September 1863. During the first part of this period his unit was on duty aboard gunboats. There is a typed transcript of the diary.
Also included are army discharge and pension papers, a clipping about Eva Reynolds, and a teaching license for Florence Reynolds. Five family photographs and a postcard of the Institute for the Blind are stored in Visual Collections.
