REYNOLDS – Reynolds, Owens, Lincoln, Givens #11966: Pike County, Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, 1883, pp. 417-8. Clark Co. DR. STEPHEN J. REYNOLDS, the son of Dr. Michael Reynolds and Lucy A. Winn, was born in Clark county, Kentucky, on the 11th day of June, 1826. He removed with his parents to Bowling Green, Missouri, in 1832, but after the death of his father he returned with his mother to Kentucky, in the spring of 1840, where he continued to reside until manhood, and during his stay here he attended Hickman College for a period of two years. After coming out of college he commenced the study of medicine, reading with Dr. W. Owens, quite a distinguished physician of Paris, Kentucky. He attended his first medical lectures at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, in the winter of 1849 and 1850. He then went to New York City, in the fall of 1850, and attended the University of the City of New York, where he graduated in the spring of 1851; he then returned to Paris, Kentucky, and remained a short time; then in the fall returned to Bowling Green, Missouri, and commenced the practice of medicine November 1, 1851, where he has ever since resided, enjoying a large and lucrative business. In the fall of 1862 he was appointed, by President Lincoln, surgeon of the Board of Enrollment for the ninth congressional district of Missouri. This position he held until 1864, when, having been elected to a seat in the house of representatives of the Missouri legislature, he found it necessary to resign the position of surgeon of the district. About the year 1872 or 1873 Dr. Reynolds was elected one of the directors of the St Louis, Hannibal & Keokuk Railway Co., to the construction of which road he rendered great and valuable assistance, and which position he still holds in the company. Dr. Reynolds was married in 1854 to Miss Sophronia Givens, daughter of Matthew Givens, of Calumet township, one of the oldest, best known, and most popular citizens of the county. From this union there were three children, Matthew G., a graduate of Annapolis, and now a lawyer of the county; Lucy B., who died just before attaining to womanhood; and Minnie, a daughter just about grown, and at present a student in Monticello College at Godfrey, Illinois. Dr. Reynolds continues to practice medicine and is active in all the duties appertaining to his profession. For almost thirty years he has been located at Bowling Green, where he has been kept almost constantly at work and where he has succeeded in amassing a considerable fortune. With the increase of years his reputation as a physician has continued to grow, until at the present time he stands at the fore front of the physicians of the county, and as a truly representative member of the profession to which he belongs. As a citizen he commands the confidence of all, while his probity and uprightness of character are cheerfully acknowledged and properly appreciated by the community of which he has so long been an active and worthy member.
