REYNOLDS, Floyd
=============================================================================
Floyd Reynolds, farmer, section 7, Goodwell Township, was born in Steuben
Co., N.Y., April 2, 1836.  His parents, John and Naomi (Cole) Reynolds,
were born in the State of New York.  Before marriage his father was engaged
as a teacher and preacher: after that event he passed the remaining years
of his life as a farmer.

Mr. Reynolds came to Michigan with his parents when he was but 16 years
old, and located in Cook Co., Ill, in 1851, where he resided until 1856.
In that year he came to Muskegon County, where he engaged in lumbering and
in the manufacture of shingles.  In 1875 he came to Newaygo County and
settled in (then) Big Pine Township, where he bought 140 acres of land.  
He has since purchased 180 acres additional, making his farm aggregate
320 acres, of which he has placed 40 acres under improvement.  He is a
Democrat in political principle and has held various township and school
offices.  He was married in 1857 to Susan, daughter of Silas and Elizabeth
(Roberts) Belden, the former a native of Ohio, the latter of Virginia.
Mrs. Reynolds was born June 2, 1839, in the Old Dominion, and is the
mother of five children: Jefferson D., Carrie B., Addie M., Oscar Rex and
Claude A.
