Biographies
AARON B. REYNOLDS
It was in 1901 that this successful lawyer
came to Sacramento, and the admirable career that he has since made has brought
him the congratulations of a wide circle of acquaintances. Aaron B. Reynolds
was born in Fort Jones, Cal., July 28, 1878, a son of Isaac and Clara (Barr)
Reynolds, pioneers of Siskiyou county. He attended the
public school and the Siskiyou county high school and was graduated from the
latter in 1898. He then entered the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, where
he was graduated with the degree of LL. B. in 1901.
Almost immediately after leaving college Mr.
Reynolds came to Sacramento and was admitted to practice at the bar of the supreme court and of the lesser courts. He entered at once
upon the active practice of his profession, and has appeared in several cases
of note which are a part of the judicial history of the county and the state.
In all of these, as well as in many less important cases, he has been very
successful, not necessarily winning all of them, but accomplishing in all of
them all that it was reasonably possible for any lawyer to achieve. His
clientele, now large, is constantly widening, and as the years pass matters of
greater import are entrusted to him. His advice is sought not alone by those
who seek litigation, but by wise and careful men who would avoid it, and, once
given, it is found to be sound and based on the true fundamental principles of
the law.
His birth within the borders
of California made Mr. Reynolds eligible to membership in the Native Sons
of the Golden West, an organization in which he is deeply interested which he
advances by every means at his command. He preserves college memories by
affiliation with the University club. In politics he is independent. He
married, at Sacramento, February 8, 1905, Miss Beryl Patrick, and they have a
daughter, Beth, now six years old.
