DR. O. K. REYNOLDS, a physician of Kane, was born in Belmont county, O., March 12, 1833, and was the son of Stephen K. and Miriam (Kinsey) Reynolds, the second settlers in that county. The doctor attended school in his native place, and at academies in the neighborhood, and at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa. His medical education was received at the Missouri Medical College, St. Louis, Mo. He commenced practice near St. Joseph, Mo., where he remained two years. During the early days of the war, he found it difficult to reside there and entered the service as assistant surgeon. He afterward served as surgeon of the 17th U.S. Inf. In 1865, at the close of hostilities, he came to Old Kane and located, and resumed practice. Four years after, he removed to Johnson county, where he lived until 1875, when he came to the new town.
