"Among the leading citizens of Winters, no one enjoys wider esteem than does Mr. Reynolds, who, for the past eleven years has resided in that community, to the general progress of which he has contributed most generously. He was born November 17, 1839, near Platteville, Grant county, Wis., the son of Eldridge and Adaline (Perkins) Reynolds, natives of Kentucky. At the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Dubuque county, Iowa, crossing the Mississippi on a ferry boat propelled by tread horse power. During the succeeding seven years the father conducted a farm, his son assisting him out of school hours. In 1853, the family started for California with a wagon and four yoke of oxen, crossing the Missouri at Council Bluffs. All went well with them until they reached the Humboldt, where they lost most of their cattle by alkali water. Only one yoke was spared to them and they were compelled to leave their wagons on the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Mr. Reynolds was able to proceed by doubling yokes with his brother-in-law, and they arrived at their destination after a journey of six months. Upon reaching Hangtown they established a modest home, remaining there for two and a half years, during which time Mr. Reynolds mined with considerable success. However, his gains of about $20,000 were rapidly expended in mining enterprises. The last shaft sunk showed better results than former ones, the dirt removed from the structure containing large quantitities of gold, $10 being secured in a few hours' work. Just before the arrival of the family in Hangtown the large oak tree some four feet in girth, known as "hang oak" was felled, and it was for this tree that the town was named. In 1856 the fater and son removed to the San Joaquin valley, where they farmed three hundred and twenty acres near french Camp, raising both wheat and barley.
At French Camp, in 1860, Mr. Reynolds was united in marriage with Miss Julia Burt, of Illinois, their union being blessed with two children. George Henry, of Stockton, and Maria A., the later deceased. Mr. Reynolds' second marriage united him with Miss Mary L. Brent, a native of Dubuque county, Iowa. She died near Winters in 1907, since which time Mr. Reynolds has resided in Winters with his adopted daughter, Pricilla Hall, now Mrs. Clarence Wyatt. Mr. Reynolds superintends his ranch, which he reaches by means of a run-about which he owns.
Upon settling in Yolo county in 1891, W. J. Reynolds bought a one-third interest in a valuable tract containing ninety-three and one-third acres, one mile from Winters, and later by purchase became sole owner. This property, which he leases on halves, comprises seven hundred and forty-eight apricot trees and seven thousand peach trees, his share form the 1912 crop having amounted to nearly $8000. The trees average twenty years in age and are in excellent condition.
For two terms Mr. Reynolds served efficiently as school trustee in Merced county, and as a Republican of broad and generous principles has always been deeply interested in political developments. For three years during the war he assisted in maintaing the state home guard ready for instant call, he at this time being a resident of San Joaquin count. Since coming to Yolo county he has devoted his time to horticulture, which he has found ver congenial, interesting and profitable. As a citizen of the highest worth he has ever enjoyed the commendation of his fellows." at Yolo County, California.⁶
