John M. REYNOLDS, farmer and stock-raiser; P. O. Mokena; one of our early settlers; was 
born in Champaign Co., Ohio, Feb. 11, 1813; came to this State with his father's family in 
1818, and settled in the southern part, where he remained until 1833, when he came north to 
Will Co., and settled in New Lenox. He was married Oct. 15, 1835, to Miss E. W. SNAPP, who 
was born in Cayuga Co., N. Y., Oct. 2, 1818. She is the daughter of Mr. Abram SNAPP, now 
deceased, who was the first settler, and constructor of the first building on the prairie 
then called the Yankee Settlement; they have had four children, two of whom are living - 
Clara M. and Nellie I.; deceased - Abram S. and Sarah J. The farm of Mr. REYNOLDS consists 
of 290 acres; its probable value is $18,000.
