ENOCH JOHN REYNOLDS

	Enoch John Reynolds is now one of the retired business men of 
Colville, and is a venerable and beloved citizen known and highly
esteemed by all.  He was born in Murray, Ontario, on July 12, 1816,
the son of Jesse and Mary Reynolds, natives of Germany and America, 
respectively.  They came to Canada when very young and there passed
the balance of their days.  The father was a sergeant in the noted
Glengary regiment.  John received his education from the excellent 
schools of Ontario and when twenty-two went to Montreal.  There and in
other parts he was engaged until 1853 when he came to the United States.
In January, 1863, he enlisted under Captain Wright and General Thomas
and served with one brother, three sons, and one son-in-law until the
conflict was over.  The brother was killed at Lookout Mountain.  
Following the war, Mr. Reynolds went to Michigan and did general mer-
chandising until 1870.  Then he transferred his business to Chicago but
later returned to Michigan and embarked in the coal and wood business.
Eight years were spent at that when he sold out and bought property in
Jackson.  In 1878 Mr. Reynolds came to Stevens county and bought a farm, 
which he operated for some time, then took up general merchandising in
Marcus.  In 1896 he sold his business and now, as the golden days of his
years are beginning to run apace he is enjoying his well earned comp-
etence in a life of quiet retirement.
	In 1839 Mr. Reynolds married Miss Nancy Lovit, and to them seven
children were born,-- Sarah, Hattie, Edgar, Danile N., William George,
and Bartlett J.  In 1896 Mr. Reynolds was called to mourn the death of
his beloved wife.  On June 15, 1897, Mr. Reynolds married Mrs. Emily
French, a widow of A.J. French, and a daughter of Dr. Henry and 
Katherine (Williams) Jones, natives of New York city.  Mrs. Reynolds
was reared in New York and Illinois.  Her father practiced medicine in
Jacksonville, Illinois, for fifty years.  She was one of twelve children 
and had two brothers killed in the Civil War, William and Erastus.
She came west to Stevens county in 1893 with her husband, who died in
1896.  Mrs. Reynolds has two sisters living, Julia, wife of Dr. Robins,
and Louis Jones.  Mrs. Reynolds is a member of the Congregational church.
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have the confidence, good will and esteem of all
the community.
