William A. Reynolds, one of Spencerville's substantial citizens and representative men, has been identified with the interests of this town for the past 24 years, mainly, but not exclusively, in the line of lumber. Mr. Reynolds was born August 3, 1849, near Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio, and is a son of George and Malinda (Moon) Reynolds, and a grandson of JOHN and Julia (Lively) REYNOLDS.
The grandparents of Mr. Reynolds were natives of Greenbrier County, formerly in Virginia, but now a part of West Virginia. In 1862, during the Civil War, they moved to Clinton County, Ohio, where the grandmother died, reaching old age although she had borne and reared nine sons and six daughters. She possessed what has been considered a mark of beauty, perhaps on account of its rarity one black and one blue eye.
