Tribute to Mrs. Rynerson
Mrs. W. L. Rynerson, who died at Las Cruces, N. M., last Saturday at the age of sixty-three years, was one of the pioneer residents of the Mesilla valley. She was the relict of John Lemon, who died in Las Cruces in the early '70's, leaving her in affluent circumstances. Soon afterward she married Col. W. L. Rynerson, who came to New Mexico with the California Column and for many years was a prominent citizen and active republican politician of New Mexico. He preceded her to the grave by some ten years, a number of grown children surviving them. Mrs. Rynerson was widely known in the southern part of the territory as a woman of intelligence and philanthropy, who was held in high esteem by all so fortunate as to know her. - Las Vegas Optic
