Women loved the charming manner and chivalrous ways of Bob Reynolds. It is said that he tipped his hat to each and every lady he passed on the street. The women liked ''Our Bob,'' and he liked them, as evidenced by his five marriages.
His first wife was Frances "Fannie' Jackson, a Mardi Gras Queen, born March 18, 1889 and died October 17, 1913. They were married on January 20, 1909. Fannie's parents, Judge William and Effie (Brome) Jackson, were from Louisville, Kentucky She died of Typhoid Fever when their two children were under 3 years old. Their daughter, Frances (Reynolds) Oertlinq, born 1909, now resides in Firenze, Italy. and their son Robert Rice Reynolds Jr., born Feb. 3, 1913, died at the age of 37 in an automobile accident on October 17, 1950.
Reynolds second wife was Mary Bland whom he met while judging a horse show in Augusta. Georgia. They also made their home in Asheville and had one daughter. Mary Bland Reynolds. They divorced.
His third wife was a French-Canadian named Denese D'Arcy. Her manner and ways were foreign to her western North Carolina neighbors to the degree that she fell misjudged and misunderstood. It didn't take her long to decide to leave the area. Bob was not interested in moving from his ''little gem city of the mountains,'' so they parted ways and were divorced.
Next, ''Our Bob'' married Eva Brady, a former Zigfield Follies' girl on February 27. 1931 She was born June 5, 1904 and died December 13. 1934. the daughter of James Maurice Brady. She had brains as well as beauty, and enjoyed being the wife of a very public politician. Unfortunately her life was cut short when she died did brain tumor at the age of thirty. There were no children.
In 1941 he married Evalyn Washington McLean, daughter of Edmund '' Ned '' McLean, one time publisher of the Washington Post, and Evalyn Walsh McLean. well-known Washington socialite and owner of the Hope Diamond. The Walsh family had struck paydirt out west in the early mining days, and had a very successful silver mining business.
Bob and Evalyn had one daughter, Mamie Spears (Reynolds) Gregory, born October 15, 1942. Mamie and her husband Joseph Gregory, currently maintain residences in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Louisville, Kentucky. and in California. Her mother died in 1946 when Mamie was a child.
After Evalyn's death, Bob Reynolds moved from Washington back to Asheville to raise Mamie. He attempted a political come-back in 1950, running for the U.S. Senate once again, but was unsuccessful. They lived in his home of oak logs and native field stone high on the side of "Reynolds Mountain'' on a 250 acre ranch in northwest Asheville. He died of heart failure after a long bout with cancer, on February 13, 1963. He is buried at Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, N.C.
