Willis Reynolds was born Feb. 7, 1834, in Schenango County, New York. When about twenty-two years of age he moved to the State of Michigan, and settled at St. Johns, Clinton County. Later he moved to North Star, Gratiot Co., Mich., where he resided until the time of his death. In 1856 he was united in marriage with Lydia J. Neal, and four children were born to them, all of whom are living. Early in life he was converted to Christianity, and in later years
he heard and embraced the special truths for the last days and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of Ithaca, of which he remained a faithful member until his death.

He is survived by his loving companion and four children. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to an interested audience at the Cemetery church, North Star.
