NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, FEBRUARY 8, 1878 
 
During the absence of the Editor of The Times last week, a short notice was 
made of the sudden death of Col. Reynolds who resides near here, in which the 
initials of his given name were printed wrong. Instead of J.W. as printed, his 
initials are J.M., standing for James Madison. Col. R. was at the time of his 
death sixty eight years, five months and fifteen days old. He moved to this 
county since the war from Burke county, in this state, where previous to the 
war, he was in affluent circumstances, being a large slave owner. Col. 
Reynolds was educated at the State University having graduated in the same 
class, we believe, with Hon. Robert Toombs and Hon. H.V. Johnson. He was a man 
of great intregity and character and his word could be taken as his bond by 
all who were well acquainted with him. He was in the strictest sense of the 
word an honest man, whom the poet has called "the noblest work of God." He was 
a man of great urbanity, he never forgot that he was a gentleman. Peace to his 
ashes.
