More than a year ago he went to California to rest with a hope of regaining his health in the changed climate. While there his condition grew worse, and members of his family were called to his bedside, attending physicians physi-cians fearing that he might never recover sufficiently to return to his native city, After months of courageous fighting against great odds, he regained his health in part and returned to his home here. Since that time he suffered periodical relapses that caused members of the family deep concern. con-cern. The last serious attack came about a week ago and he was forced to retire to his bed again, but he still maintained that indomitable spirit that has characterized character-ized his entire life. AJ1 his life Mr. Reynolds had been a builder. In the early days he was a builder of roads. Then he became a builder of railroads. Later he built the largest store south of Salt Lake City, which -he successfully operated for many years. Throughout his life he devoted a portion por-tion of his time in building his church,, his city, county and state, having assumed a public leadership when a young man. In all of these avenues of life his counsel and advise were sought. In business he was conservative to a marked degree. He was an advocate of the pay-as-you-go policy, and did not believe in running in debt. Thus he lived within his means and found pleasure in the simple things of life. He also found great pleasure in lending a helping hand to his fellowmen if he felt that such help would strengthen strength-en those in need of his assistance. He was a devout Latter-day Saint and through his mode of living he followed the teachings of his church. In all of these walks of life he leaves a gap that cannot be filled. His family, of course, will miss him. . His many friends and business associates who enjoyed the benefit of his wisdom and counsel will miss him. Those who have shared his joys and his sorrows and profited by such intimate association will miss him. The Herald joins the multitude of friends in voicing ! sorrow in the passing of this good man, and in extending extend-ing this sympathy to members of the family in their hour of bereavement. " i |
