After his education in the public and high schools of the district John taught school for a time. While teaching school he secured work upon the anatomy of the body, the study of which turned his attention to medicine as a life calling. Subsequently he graduated in medicine and surgery at Trinity College, and in 1911 after post-graduate work in London, England, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, a much coveted and honoured distinction in the medical profession. Soon after graduation, Dr. Reid located in Tillsonburg, and commenced a professional career which continued in this town and district for over forty years until a few months ago, when Dr. and Mrs. Reid took up their home in Toronto. During his long residence in Tillsonburg, Dr. Reid won the esteem and respect of all classes of citizens. In his professional capacity he measured up to the highest ethical standards of his profession. He gave himself unsparingly in the service of humanity and financial reward was for him a secondary consideration. His deeds of kindness were innumerable. He was a splendid type of the old-fashioned family physician, now rapidly disappearing in this age of specialization. Dr. Reid was an Independent Conservative in politics. While he did not take an active part in municipal affairs he was keenly interested in everything that made for public welfare and served on the high school and public library boards for several years. He was an active worker in the Temperance movement. Quite early in life he became a member of the Methodist church, and during his long residence in Tillsonburg he was an active member of what is now St. Paul's United church, holding various official positions form time to time, and was engaged as a worker at the time of his death. Dr. Reid had retired his family practise in Tillsonburg a few months earlier and had moved to Toronto. He had laid down for a nap and quietly passed away. He was buried in the family plot in Mono College Cemetery with several members of his family.
