George Reynolds
George Reynolds, Retired Farmer; P. O. Montra.
Mr. Reynolds is a son of William and Mary Reynolds. He was born in Columbia County, N. Y., April 16, 1812, where his minority days were passed on a farm. Oct. 19, 1836, he married Miss Rebecca, daughter of Amos and Martha Larkin, of Saratoga County, N. Y. In May, 1838, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds came to Ohio and located in Sidney. ln Sept. 1838, he in company with his brother-in-law, Henry Larkin, purchased of James B. McKinney two hundred and forty acres of land in the north half of section 24, Dinsmore Township, on which he made some improvements, erected a cabin, and in November, 1841, he moved on his land, where he has since resided. In 1850 he purchased his partner's interest in the farm, and now is the owner of the entire farm, which ranks second to none in Dinsmore Township. About 180 acres of the land are now under cultivation, with a good frame house and a large barn, erected on the farm, which is the result of Mr. R.’s own hard labor and energy, which classed him among the best farmers in the township. His companion died Oct. 31, 1879.
