SETH C. REYNOLDS.
     Seth C. Reynolds is a successful and well-known attorney of Ashdown, where
he has remained an active representative of the bar during the past fourteen
years. A native son of Arkansas, he was born at Cascade Springs, now Naylor, in
Faulkner county, on the 12th of May, 1878. His youth was spent on a farm in that
vicinity and his early education was acquired in the public school at Naylor and
in the high school at Rover, while subsequently he entered Hendrix College, from
which he was graduated in 1904 He also spent one summer as a student in the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and later entered the University of
Arkansas, in which institution he completed his law course by graduation in
1907. The same year he was admitted to practice in the supreme court, while two
years later he was admitted to the federal courts. Prior to and during the
period of his college course he engaged in teaching school at intervals through
a period of thirteen years, and won an enviable reputation as an educator,
imparting clearly and readily to others the knowledge that he had acquired.
After qualifying for law practice he took up his abode at Ashdown, where he has
remained continuously since and has built up a clientage of most gratifying
proportions and importance. He practiced independently until July, 1919, when he
formed a partnership with A. P. Steel, with whom he was associated as senior
partner in the firm of Reynolds & Steel until January, 1922. It is
characteristic of him that he always gives his best efforts to a client,
regardless of the standing of those who employ him, for he is no respecter of
persons and money does not swerve him in the least from his path of duty as a
lawyer. His briefs are ever splendidly prepared and his presentation of a cause
is clear and logical. Aside from his professional interests he owns a farm of
eight hundred and forty acres in Little River county.

    On the 21st of August, 190S, Mr. Reynolds was united in marriage to Miss
Nelle McCrary, and they occupy an enviable social position in the community in
which they make their home. Mr. Reynolds is a democrat in his political views,
and in 1920 was sent as an alternate delegate at large to the democratic
national convention in San Francisco. He is a devoted and consistent member of
the Methodist church and takes an active and helpful part in its work, having
served for eighteen years as superintendent of the Sunday school. Fraternally he
is identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. During the period of
the World war he served as secretary of the Little River County Chapter of the
Red Cross, while during three of the Liberty Loan drives he acted as chairman of
the speakers' bureau in Little River county. He was likewise chairman of the
legal advisory board of Little River county during the entire period of
hostilities between the United States and Germany. His aid and influence are
ever found on the side of right, reform, progress and improvement, and he has
long been numbered among the leading lawyers and highly esteemed citizens of
southwestern Arkansas.
