George H. Reynolds, of St. Cloud, son of the late Judge Reuben Reynolds, of Crookston, Minnesota, was born at La Monte, Michigan, January 26, 1852.
The family moved to Minnesota in 1855, and settled at Rochester, where Judge Reynolds at once became prominent in the territorial days and affairs if the future commonwealth.
The early education of George H. began in the local public schools, where he fitted himself for a course at the University of Michigan. Graduating in 1875, he returned to Minnesota, located at Alexandria and became the law partner of Knute Nelson (now United States Senator Nelson), under the firm name of Nelson & Reynolds. He practiced extensively at Alexandria and St. Cloud, and in 1886 moved to the latter place. His first partnership was with Mr. Bruckert, and subsequently, with George W. Stewart, under the name of Reynolds & Stewart, which was dissolved in 1890, when he practiced alone until May 1, 1898.
Mr. Reynolds then established the firm of Reynolds & Roeser, which has continued to the present time.
For a number of years Mr. Reynolds' practice has been largely confined to corporation law, and he has been for a long time the local attorney of both the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific railway companies.
Mr. Reynolds has been twice married. First to Mary Cowing, of Alexandria, in 1877; and in 1889, to Mary R. Lyndell, of Los Angeles, California.
