(10077) HENRY WILLIAM WATERMAN REYNOLDS, New Orleans, La. b. Feb. 3, 1834; d. June 6, 1911; m. Oct. 29, 1857, Emma Leonora Waters; b. Sept. 9, 1835; d. June 18, 1919; dau. of Capt. William and Madeline Mahala (Barrow) Waters.
... Mrs. H. W. W. Reynolds ... her husband was one of the leading engineers of the South. He surveyed Audubon Park and laid out the “Gould lines” in Louisiana and Mississippi. He was buried in the cemetery of the Army of the Tennessee. He was locally known as a very gifted man, but as he was little given to self-praise, few, if any, knew of his brilliant and famous ancestry, not through the Olmsteds alone, but carrying in his veins the blood of other noted artistic families. It is said that his map of Audubon Park, is one of the finest examples of the draftsman’s art. All of the Olmsteds are constructionists. Their special gift is creation. Whether they chose the artist’s canvas, or Nature’s landscape, their genius seems always to incline toward uplifting and beautifying.
