He In jent his entire life in this place, ex?pt the time sp-nt in fitting himself < < ir his chosen profession. He read to ledicine under ihe late Dr. Thomas Ej ammond. He attended the Univer- to ty of Virginia Mid the University of ca arylfttid, gradiating in medicine M 0111 the Univerdty of Pennsylvania A> i 1841. Having formed o partner- Mi lip with Dr. Hammond, lie began en le practice of medicine in Sliep- Or erdstown in April, 1841, whicn he rei mtinued uninterruptedly up to re< itliin a few days of Ids death. Dur- to ig the past couple of years he had fo radually relinquished the more la- re, prions part ol i 's work, his son. Dr. to lien S. Reynolds, taking tlie burden fri T of bis shoulders. Had Dr. Rev- to aids lived a couple of month* longer oo ? would have rounded out an even to fty years of practice in this town th rid vicinity?a half century of work ?voted to relieving tlie ills of his fel- fe wmen. w< Dr. Reynolds married Miss Kate f, u< ritherow on June 21, 1854, the cere . ony being performed in the Re. j >rmeil ctiurcn ana uu nrsi weuumg ej( u!d in that edifice.

Tlie widow of I)r. evnolds also survive! him. Cc Few men have posseted as large a easure of the esteem and confidence (*' ud lore of their fellowinen as Dr. eynolds did. Being engaged for 0,1 rty v<*ar?, as he was, in the work of dieving the pains of the suffering 8e nd afllicted. it was hut natural that Vl e should be regarded with grateful Injection. But the secret of the ad. V1 iration in which he was field was ' ' at simply that he did good?it was 1 the tenderness ami unfailing gen- ^1 eness of the man, the broad charity int he exercised, the generous giv. bj ig and the kindly eicuses for the Si lilirigs of otiiers, the ever ready help tat was so freely extended?these f0 ere the ties that bound him so ?<, osely to the people. An aged tier- j vj in, in speaking of his charity, re- 1 , tiled uianv incidents of how he had 1 111 ot only given his tune and attention > the poor without charge, but had fteu paid out of his own pocket for ^ plicacies and nourishing food for j( lose who could not buy such things ; ir themselvei. mi... !!?.? nnurnllnti t ip<tl ,n 1 >1V* flint 1 ^ 1 IltT 1111*1.

With the assistance of Dr. fr, avlor and Dr. Butler. Dr. Reynolds rj. iccessfully amputated the man's leg. f0 The life of Dr. Reynolds was a fr lost laborious one. His practice was gn large one, almost from the begin w ing. From ever) part of this county c|, ml Berkeley the calls came, and w ven in Frederick countv. Virginia, tb nd the adjoining enmities of Mary- t0 md his services w. re in demand. He ei I ways traveled on horse-hack, and 7*1 o one knows how many thousands at f mi'es ne has ridden. His record jv 00k shows that nearly twenty-two undred times he had been called ai pon to assist little Grangers into the Iu orld. and many a one of them has een named "Reynolds" after the ood doctor who presided at their adent. r,; The death of Dr. Reynolds is not h< nly an atllictiou to his family?it is a 1) id loss in which the entire comuiu- | ol ity feels a personal grief. He was ri > intimately known to all. and so ol eloved of everyone, that each fami m r feels as though it has sustained a M ereavement. In the Providenoe of m od. Dr. Re\nold* was spared until se is life work was accomplished?untij ther shoulders were fitted for the tl urdenthathe had carried so long, di 'ifteen or twenty years ago. his di eath would have been a great ca- cl imity. Now, though men grieve at ol is death, it is with the knowledge Pat he had rounded out a life well pent and that his work was finished, lis memory will ever be fragrant in the at omwunity where he lived, aud u is successful life wfll be an inspire on to those who Hesir^ao to 1{ tat future ..tail tbieoVf' le Nmws of the Railroads.
