Biography
Reyburn (father of William S. Reyburn) was born in New Carlisle, Ohio, the son of William and Lydia Reeder Crain Reyburn. He was instructed by a private tutor and attended Saunders Institute in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1870, and commenced practice in Philadelphia. He married Margaretta Eleanor Crozier, and they had three children, William Stuart, Robert Crozier, and Eleanor Crozier.[1]

Reyburn was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1871 and again in 1874 through 1876. He was a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate from 1876 through 1892 and served as president pro tempore during the session of 1883.
Elected to Congress as a Republican to fill the vacancy left by the death of William D. Kelley, Reyburn was reelected three times and served from February 18, 1890, to March 3, 1897, until he was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1896. He was again elected to Congress to fill the vacancy left by the death of Robert Adams, Jr. and was reelected in 1906 to the 60th United States Congress, serving from November 6, 1906, to March 31, 1907, when he resigned to serve as Mayor of Philadelphia. He served as mayor from April 1, 1907, to December 4, 1911, and engaged in manufacturing in Philadelphia, but retained a residence in Washington, D.C.[2]
