EUGENE SUGNY REYNAL 2 November 1877 – 31 December 1931
Eugene Sugny Reynal, former polo player and sportsman, died on December 31, 1931, at Doctor's Hospital, East End Avenue and 87th Street after a heart attack, Mr. Reynal, a descendent of Count Eugene Sugny, aide-de-camp to General Lafayette in the Revolutionary War, was 62 years old.
He was born in New York City and attended private schools in this city. In 1906 and again in 1912 he played polo on teams that won the Open Polo Championship of the United States.
He maintained a pack of beagles, hunted in the English manner, firstly at his home in White Plains, New York, and later at his new home, Spring Hill Farm, in Millbrook New York. These hounds were hunted on foot. Given the wide-open countryside of Millbrook, and its plentiful supply of European Brown Hare that had been introduced there, Reynal developed a superb pack of English harriers which were hunted on horseback. He gave up his pack of harriers three years before his demise.
Eugene Reynal was an active member of the National Beagle Club and built one of the pack cabins at their Institute grounds in Aldie, Virginia. He competed in hound trials there and showed his packs, both beagles and harriers, there and at the prestigious Riding Club Hound Shows at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.
Mr. Reynal served during World War I as an ambulance driver, having gone to France with the Morgan-Harjes Ambulance Service before the US entered the war. He had wished to join the Lafayette Escadrille, but age prevented that. Reynal believed that just as his French ancestor served the US, his American descendent was honor-bound to serve the country from which his family derived.
He was the father of Eugene S. R. Reynal, [1902 - 1968], president of Blue Ribbon Books, Inc., and chairman of the board of Reynal & Hitchcock, Inc. which company was the first to publish Mein Kampf in English. Also surviving are his estranged wife Adele Fitzgerald Reynal [1876 -1940] of 1075 Park Avenue; another son Louis Reynal; and three daughters: the misses Jeanne A., Adele Reynal, and Mrs. Roxanne Reynal McLauchlan. [Jeanne Reynal (1903 -1983) married artist Thomas Sills (1914 - 2000).
Funeral services were held at 10:30 A.M. Wednesday at the Roman Catholic Church of St. Agnes, 43rd Street near Lexington Avenue. The burial was at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
