Ballarat Courier 27th January 1908. Page 4 The late Mr Geo. Reynolds, whose death was chronicled a few days ago, was a very old citizen of this district. Together with his first wife—he was twice married, secondly to a sister of Messrs E. F. and J. V. Bryant—and two children, he arrived in Geelong by the sailing vessel the Sea in 1851. He was soon attracted to this gold-field, and witnessed the Eureka Stockade fight, being a non-combatant. Then he returned to Geelong, and assisted in harvesting at the Barrabool Hills. Subsequently the goldfield again attracted him, and he secured employment at the Great Eastern mine. A few years later he established a bakery and grocery at the corner of Lyons and Urquhart streets, and retired from business some years ago. He leaves a widow and 10 children, one of whom is Mr Alex. Reynold, guard on the Victorian railways. He was a pioneer of Wesleyan Methodism in Ballarat, being one of the founders of the Lydiard street church. Deceased had reached the ripe age of 83 years.refBallarat Courier 27th January 1908. Page 4/ref
