BIOGRAPHICAL (From The Centennial History of Oregon, pg 80-81):
"John Reynolds M. D. - Dr. John Reynolds, a physician of Salem who in the long years of practice has demonstrated his ability to successfully cope with the intricate problems which are met in the efforts to restore health and check the ravages of disease, has practiced continuously in Salem since 1874. He was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, October 2, 1837, a son of Lloyd and Elizabeth (Glass) Reynolds, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania. The father and mother removed to Washington county, Ohio, later in life and their deaths occurred in that locality. They were the parents of nine children, six of whom survive.
When John Reynolds was but three years of age his parents removed from Columbania county, Ohio, to Washington county, and it was in the later place that he was reared and educated. After receiving the education which the common schools of Ohio offered he took up the study of medicine at the age of ninteen years under his father, who was a general practitioner. After having completed the medical course at Miami Medical College, he began practice at Beverly, Ohio, and remained there until 1874, when he came to Salem. He is one of the oldest practicing physicians in the city and has proven his skill and ability. From the outset of his professional career his labors have been attended with success viewed from both the professional and the financial standpoints. He has ever been most careful in the diagnosis of his cases and seldom if ever has been at fault in anticipating the outcome of a disease. He has not specialized in any particular field, but has continued in the general practice of medicine and has kept in touch with its advancement by giving careful attention to the research and investigation which have been undertaken by the members of the medical fraternity. Without any time neglecting the duties of his vocation he has interested himself in agriculture to the extent of overseeing the forty-nine acre fruit farm which he owns one mile north of the city limits of Salem. He has brought this property under a high state of productivity and it is planted to prunes, pears, and cherries. His real-estate investments also include several valuable pieces of property in Salem.
In 1860 Dr. Reynolds was married to Miss S. A. Truesdell, a native of Washington county, Ohio, and a daughter of J. M. and Adelia Truesdell, both of whom were born in Ohio and are now deceased. To Dr. and Mrs. Reynolds five children have been born: Mary E., who is residing at home and is teaching in Willamette Univeristy; Kate D., who is married to John Goltra, of Portland, Oregon; L. T., who is a fruit grower in Marion county; J. W., an attorney of Portland; and Harry B., deceased.
In politics Mr. Reynolds is a republican and cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln. His professional duties have brought him into close relations with many households and in all he commands the high regard and love of those to whom he has ministered.. His life work has indeed been one of broad usefulness and in every relation he has lived up to the high ideals which he has set for himself." 

60th Wedding Anniversary
Dr. John Reynolds, veteran medical practitioner of Salem, and his wife, Mrs. Sallie A. Reynolds, are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary today, with three of their four children, with the 81-year-old celebrants.
Dr. Reynolds, who retired from active practice a few years ago to live on his fruit ranch north of Salem, has been a resident of the district since 1874 and has been closely identified with the growth of the capital district. On April 12, 1859, he and Salle A. Truesdell were married at Beverly, O..
The octogenarians have four children - Miss Mary E. Reynolds, with her parents on the fruit farm; Mrs. John O. Goltra, of Salem, Lloyd T. Reynolds, a fruit grower of the Salem district, and John W. Reynolds, an attorney of Portland. Mrs. Goltra is in the east on a visit, hence will be unable to participate in the 60th anniversary celebration.
