E. L. REYNOLDS
Dr. E. L. Reynolds, electro-therapeutic chiropractic physician of Minneapolis,
who began practice in this city in November, 1913, and has been especially
successful in the treatment of chronic diseases, was born in Lenox, Iowa, his
parents being John W. and Dicena (Hurley) Reynolds. The Reynolds family is one
of the oldest on the American continent. The grandfather of the Doctor settled
in Ohio, removing westward from New England, and his father, leaving the Buckeye
state, became a pioneer of Illinois, while subsequently he established his home
at Lenox, Iowa, thus aiding in carrying the interests of civilization into the
west.
In his native city E. L. Reynolds pursued his education in the public schools,
passing through consecutive grades to his graduation from the high school. He
was con­nected with the telephone business for a period and then entered the
Weltmore Institute at Nevada, Missouri. He received expert training in the use
of electricity as a healing power while pursuing his studies in
electro-therapeutics in the National College at Lima, Ohio. Following his
college course he located in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where he practiced for a
period of nine years, coming to Minneapolis in November. 1913. He has made a
specialty of the treatment of chronic diseases and has been very successful in
this branch of practice, effecting many notable cures. It may be said in all
fairness that Dr. Reynolds has done as much as if not more than any other man in
this section of the country in placing electro and chiropractic healing on a
plane with the recognized professional schools. When in Grand Forks he suffered
strong opposition and persecution from the old medical practitioners but
contested the correctness of his position inch by inch and won out. He continued
in practice there, his patronage steadily growing through a period of nine
years, and left Grand Forks only to come to Minneapolis that the larger city
might give him better opportunities. This step was taken upon the invitation of
Dr. Mitchell, who sought the services of Dr. Reynolds in the care of a large and
growing practice.
Dr. Reynolds was united in marriage to Miss Edith Jarvis and they are well known
socially, having gained many warm friends during the period of their connection
with Minneapolis. The Doctor is a member of the Masonic fraternity, loyally
following the teachings and purposes of the craft, and he also belongs to the
Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America. His religious faith is
that of the Methodist church and he has always voted with the republican party,
being actively interested in its support, especially during the period of his
residence in North Dakota, when he did considerable campaigning for the
organization. While in Iowa he was very active in church work and was president
of the Epworth League and prominent in Sunday school activities while still but
a youth. He is a strong advocate of athletic sports and takes quite an active
interest therein. A man of high character, he holds to. advanced standards in
all walks of life and is actuated by the spirit of progress in everything that
he undertakes. Wherever opportunity calls he makes immediate answer and his
indefatigable energy declines no chance for labor or for service.
