- Several sources, including newspapers from Reynolds' home county of Hamilton, refer to him as "P. B. Reynolds" instead of "D. P. Reynolds."[4][5][6] The name "D. P. Reynolds" is also widely used in newspaper sources and is the name given in the official results in the 1883 House Journal of the Legislature of the State of Nebraska.[1] He is also referred to as "D. B. Reynolds" in Volume 3 of the Illustrated History of Nebraska by Albert Watkins[7]
