CLASS OF 1852

Benjamin Miles Reynolds, during many years prominent in educational work in Wisconsin and Minnesota, died at Morgan City, La., Jan. 12, 1908. He was ill only a few days, being stricken suddenly during a journey by railway from his home in Northfield, Minn., to southern California, where he and his wife were to spend the remainder of the winter. He was born in Barnard, Vt., July 12, 1825. After graduation he taught in Windsor and other towns of Vermont, and in Moline and Rock Island, Ill. From 1861 to 1866 he was principal of the union school at Lockport, N. Y., and in 1866 removed to Wisconsin, where he was superintendent of schools in Madison and afterwards in La Crosse. Later he was successively superintendent in Northfield, Faribault, and Fergus Falls, Minn. In 1892 he returned to Northfield, and for the next six years he was superintendent of schools for Rice county, in which that town is situated. Mr. Reynolds was married in Windsor, Vt., July 4, 1853, to Mary A., daughter of Mitchell Morey. Three children of this marriage are living. His first wife died in 1883, and he was again married in 1889 to Miss Melissa Ritter of Mattoon, Ill., who survives him and has no children. Mr. Reynolds was a member of the Congregational church, a man of high ideals, and a true friend of young men and women striving to obtain an education. In his later years he frequently attended the Dartmouth Commencements, and last summer on the fifty-fifth anniversary of his graduation, he was the only one present from his class.
