GEORGE E. REYNOLDS, M. D.

   Since 1891 Dr. George E. Reynolds has practiced in Elizabethtown, where he is
considered a leading citizen and competent physician. He is one of Indiana's
sons, his birth having occurred in Jefferson county on the 27th of November,
1857. His parents were Dr. J. H. and Maria T. (Hall) Reynolds. The Reynolds
family were natives of Vermont and the father was a practitioner of medicine in
West Jefferson, Indiana, for fifty-two years. He became a large land owner and
was known as one of the wealthy men of the community as well as the leading
physician. His work in the line of his profession was of value to his fellow
men, because of his skill and ability, and his practice was extensive and
renowned. He voted with the Republican party and his religious faith was that of
the Baptist church, in which he long held membership. Unto him and his wife were
born four daughters and two sons. The eldest, Dr. S. H. Reynolds, now deceased,
was a graduate of the Miami Medical College of Cincinnati: Lou has also passed
away: Sallie is the wife of Lewis H. Holmes, of Louisville, Kentucky; Alice is
the wife of Lewis H. Levey, a resident of Indianapolis, and Blanche is the wife
of John I. Ross, of Madison, Indiana.

   Dr. George E. Reynolds, during the twelve years of his residence in
Elizabethtown, has gained an enviable position in public regard by reason of his
personal characteristics and business capacity: He acquired his literary
education in the graded schools of Jefferson county, and took up the study of
medicine under the direction of his father for three years. He then entered the
Miami Medical College of Cincinnati, and in 1881 was graduated in the Medical
College of Indiana at Indianapolis. Being thus equipped for his professional
duties, he located in Scipio, this state, where he remained for three years. He
practiced in Goldsmith, Tipton county, for one year and in Kent for seven years
and in 1891 he became established at Elizabethtown. He has ever had a deep
interest in medicine from a scientific as well as humanitarian standpoint and is
keeping in touch with the recognized advancement of this, the noblest of
professions.

   In his eighteenth year the Doctor was married to Miss Josephine Sanford, of
Jefferson county, Indiana, who was born in Kentucky. They have two sons: P. L.
is assistant auditor for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad at Muncie,
Indiana. He married Miss Mamie Bradford, of Elizabethtown, and they have one
daughter. J. S. Reynolds is also in the railroad service, making his home with
his parents. Frateraally the Doctor is a Mason, being interested in the work of
the craft and in the promulgation of its principles, and has filled nearly all
of the offices in the lodge. He is a Republican, but has never taken an active
part in political work. He is examiner for several insurance companies and has a
remunerative general practice. Thorough and painstaking in his care of patients,
courteous in manner and kindly in- disposition, he has many sincere friends and
congenial companions.
