Lorenzo Reynolds



Lorenzo Reynolds is my great great grandfather. He was born in Michigan in pioneer days and was injured building a barn with his father. He became Treasurer of Hillsdale College, and was a staunch fan of the town even after things at the college went south.

His daughter, Julia Reynolds, married my great grandfather Will Leverett - a book about them is coming, but not tomorrow.
