Clark Co. Benjamin Blackwell Reynolds, capitalist, post-office Bowling Green. He was born in the town of Winchester, Clark county, Kentucky, in April, 1810. His father, Michael Reynolds, was a native of Ireland. He was a surgeon in the British army, captured at the battle of New Orleans and remained in this country after the war. He immigrated to Missouri in the fall of 1832; his wife’s maiden name was Sallie Blackwell, a native of Kentucky. On coming to Missouri he settled at Bowling Green, where he had an extensive practice until his death, in August, 1838. Benjamin, the subject of our sketch, at the death of his mother in 1821, was but two years old, and went to live with his grandfather at Little Orleans, in Indiana. He remained there about two years and then came west to his father, who was married, the second time, to Miss Lucy H. Winn, of Kentucky, who was the mother of the lamented Dr. Reynolds. Our subject was educated in the schools of Bowling Green; when about grown to manhood, in 1844, he engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed successfully until 1870, when he retired to his farm in 1875, where he lives in a large and stately brick mansion, surrounded with all the comforts and luxuries of life. He was married in 1844 to Miss Louisiana, daughter of Joseph H. Pugh, Esq. They have seven children, three of whom are living: Harriett, Lucy and Medodra. Mr. Reynolds never aspired to office, but has always been active in politics in behalf of his friends; he is a staunch Democrat, as his father was before him.
