E. S. Reynolds, Widely Known Artist, Is Dead
---------
Edward S. Reynolds, known to thousands as "Tige" through his cartoons, which have been printed nearly every day for 15 years on the front page of the Morning Oregonian, died at his home, 950 Edgewood Road, at 3:30 a. m. Sunday, following illness from a heart ailment since March 13.
Funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at Finley's chapel. Commitment will be at Portland crematorium.
"Tige" Reynolds was known throughout the nation - not only in Portland and Oregon, for his famous sketches of life and current events as he picturized them, for scores of his drawings were published in national magazines from time to time.
Mr. Reynolds was born in Oskaloosa, Ia., on December 11, 1877. He graduated from the Sioux Falls S. D. high school, having had most of his education there, where he moved with his parents when 11 years old.
At all times during his life he drew pictures - everything from faces he had seen to battleships. He entered newspaper work at Fresno, Cal., before he was 20 years old, starting in as printer's devil. Most of his spare time was spent in studying drawing.
His first job as an artist came after considerable hard work, when he was employed as illustrator under the old chalk-plate method on a California paper. He worked for several publications in California before starting to work for the San Francisco Evening Post, when he was illustrator, reporter and printer, all at the same time.
In 1898 he enlisted as recruit with the 7th infantry for the Spanish-American war, and following this he again entered newspaper work. In 1903 he went to Tacoma, Wash., and was made chalk-plate artist for the Ledger. His drawings were so good that he was shortly afterward appointed cartoonist for that paper.
The name of "Tige" was first applied to him while he was on the Ledger. The Tacoma baseball team at that time was known as the "Tigers," and Reynolds, having a keen interest in the team, used the animal figure always seen in his cartoons to spur greater interest on the part of Tacomans in the team. The name stuck with him, so he always afterward used the emblem.
In 1909 Mr. Reynolds went to Vancouver, B. C. to become staff cartoonist for the Vancouver Province, and after working for that publication for two years, he came to Portland at the request of the editor of the Oregonian until 1919, when he returned to Tacoma for the Ledger, staying there as staff cartoonist until 1924 when he returned to the Oregonian, where he remained until he became ill.
In November, 1929, Mr. Reynolds, with W. C. Morris, won an award of $250 for the best cartoon to appear in a newspaper in the United States during the year beginning April 1, 1928, from the standpoint of national and community betterment. The prizes were given by the Harmon Foundation of New York, with the editor of Colliers magazine as chairman of the committee. The National Review of Reviews, the Literary Digest, the Outlook and numerous other magazines have re-printed many of Mr. Reynolds' cartoons in recent years.
The cartoonist is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Reynolds, two children, Mrs. Mary Reynolds, two children, Mrs. Harold Bernard, Portland, and Edward Reynolds, a senior student at Oregon State college. There is also one granddaughter, Anne Bernard.
