Biographical history
Born in Hamilton, Ont. in 1881, Ella Reynolds was the only daughter of Robert and May Reynolds. She was a journalist, poet and author. She worked at The Hamilton Spectator from 1912 until 1945. In addition to writing music and theatre reviews at the Spectator, she wrote a book column entitled "Under the Study Lamp" and a weekly column entitled "Wren's Nest" under the pen name Jennie Wren. When the Hamilton chapter of the Canadian Women's Press Club was formed in 1927, she became its first president. In retirement she devoted her time writing poetry and reading mystery novels. Ryerson Press published her book of poems Samson in Hades in 1957. Reynolds died in 1970.
