Supervisor of Vermont Marble Company's Middlebury operation from 1911 until it closed down. He then looked after the property until it was sold. Reynolds was born in Center Rutland; worked for Vermont Marble Company part-time when a student, then full-time after graduation from Green Mountain College. He opened offices for Vermont Marble in Philadelphia and the midwest and in 1911 was made manager of the Middlebury mill and lived on the farm on Halliday Road which his wife, Grace, had inherited from her father, Smith Kelly Seeley. In 1917, when their son S. Seeley Reynolds married Mary Wright, George and Grace moved to High St. When George came to Middlebury in 1911 the mill was already switching to electrical power, though the belts for running off water power were still in place. Over the course of 4-5 years George Reynolds developed an automatic feed for the necessary mixture of sand and water for sawing the marble. The sand used in the sawing operation came from east of the village and was drawn by teams owned by Art Fitzpatrick, hauling several loads a day, six days each week.
