Adrian Reynolds, Jr., Publisher of The Enterprise, Passes Away
Adrian Reynolds, Jit, publisher of the Eagle Valley Enterprise, answered the final summons of his Maker Monday, October 10, 1949, at his home in Eagle, at the age of 74 alter a lifetime devoted to the newspaper field, and its service to his fellow men- Mr. Reynolds had published the Eagle Valley Enterprise since 1918, and had been active in the newspaper business in Eagle county for 37 years. He had been in ill health for the past three years, during which his indomitable spirit had refused to acknowledge his physical handicaps and only during the past few months had he fully reconciled himself to placing the newspaper in the hands of others of his family. Adrian Reynblds, Jr-, son of Adrian Reynolds, Sr., pioneer Kansas newspaper publisher, and Martha C. (Blackman) Reynolds, was born at Elk Falls, Kansas, September 1, 1875. He was educated in the public schools at Sedan, Kansas and was a student at the University of Kansas, rte ceivihg the practical training in
the plants of his father- Before coming to Colorado in 1912, he had published newspapers in Kansas and the Territory of Oklahoma; In the fall of 1912, he became editor of the Red Cliff News at Red Cliff. Colorado, and published that paper until in 1918, when he acquired the Enter prise. Son of pioneers, that blood remained in his veins, and new frontiers always beckoned It was this urge that made Eagle county home to him. During his years in Red Cliff, the mountains and valleys of Colorado became his land of prom ise, his way of living. Opportunities from other publishers and in other areas came to him, but he could never feel that home would be other than here in Eagle county. Here with the county’s vast untapped re sources, with its rugged terrain, was the frontier he dreamed would be come great. “Ade” Reynolds, as man, woman and child in this part of Colorado knew him, has been Eagle county—in every way he has known, with every means he could muster, he has sought to develop this county. No person had more faith than he that Eagle county was, and is, a good place for people to live-
People were important to him—- ; he liked people, individually and colt lectively, and there isn't a corner [ of Eagle county but that Mr. Rey- ? nolds knew people and visited with 5 them, knew all their foibles and all . their good points. His newspaper > under his direction reflected this, i and has grown to be one of the ; strongest small newspapers in Colorado- ? A man of firm opinion, he never ! feared to state and uphold a prin- > ciple or cause he believed to be s the right one, even when compromise ; would have been the easier, perhaps » more profitable, course. ; No man ever loved the outdoors more, and the outdoors sports and games ever beckoned. Some of his . greatest contentment came when he was on the fishing streams with his ; fly rod, or asaddle in the hunting country, or just exploring Much . of Eagle county’s fishing today comes from the untiling efforts of himself and his friends in seeking better stream stocking and conser vation methods. Reynolds lake, In the upper Gypsum country, was named in recognition of this- There is not a high altitude lake in the county but has been stocked through his efforts. His life spanned two eras in the development of the west. He had said the first and only elk he had ever taken was in Southern Kansas, as a boy, when the Old West was giving ? way in that region to the plow of the wheat farmers When he came to Colorado to make a home for his family, the Old West lingered in the mining camps and on the range. Candle light and kerosene lamps lighted cabins and houses; an automobile attempting the crude roads of the mountains was a curios’ty; diesel powered trains were unknown people 1 raveled hundered of miles to see an experimental flight of a flying machine. He has seen and helped the old order pass, aided in pioneering foe new Mr. Reynolds had a zest for living, and from his love of the outdoors and liking of people, drew a full life.
