Born: Kentucky, 1822.

Mr. Reynolds came to Illinois in 1839. He settled in Warren County, a few miles west of Abingdon. He was licensed to preach in 1850 by the Meridian Church of Christ. He graduated at Bethany and was one of the founders of Abingdon College. In this school he served as teacher for six years. For two years he was president of Christian University at Canton, Missouri. The other years of his active life were given to the work of the Christian ministry in Illinois and Missouri. In 1867 he became the proprietor and editor of the Gospel Echo, and continued in this work for a period of six years. He grasped and clearly understood the subjects to which he gave his attention. His method was distinctly didactic. He was as humble, sincere and guileless as a little child. His sympathies were as wide as the needs of humanity. His faith was always serene, his work led by high ideals and his life a benediction to his generation.
