New York: Eaton & Mains, 1904, page 389. ________________________________________________ Reynolds, Charles H., was born on February 17, 1867, in Philadelphia, Pa. He attended the schools of his native city, when, at the age of fourteen, after reaching the twelfth grade, he began to work as wagon boy in a large department store at $2.50 per week. When seventeen years of age he was converted at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. Shortly after conversion he became conscious that his lifework was to be in the ministry. At twenty-one he was filling the following offices in the Church: Steward, trustee, Sunday school teacher, exhorter, class leader, and assistant superintendent in the Sunday school. In 1889 he entered Temple College, where he remained two years. He was given local preacher's license in 1890, and in 1891 he went as supply to North Sanford, where he remained one year. While here he became acquainted with Miss Nellie Beilby, whom he married in June, 1892. In the spring of 1892 he joined the Conference, and his pastorates have been as follows: 1892-93, Ouaquaga; 1894-95, Davenport Center; 1896-98, Sidney Center; 1899-1900, Clark's Summit; 1901-02, Sanitaria Springs; 1903, Oak Street, Binghamton.
