John Christian Reid
John Christian Reid, JP (187320 March 1932) was a New South Wales businessman, yachtsman and alderman, who served several terms as Mayor of Newcastle.
==Early life==
Reid was born in 1873〔 in the town of Newcastle, Colony of New South Wales, the grandson of John Reid, a Presbyterian minister, who had emigrated from Renfrewshire, Scotland with his family in 1852. His family was one of many Presbyterian families brought out from Scotland by Rev Dr John Dunmore Lang, with whom his grandfather worked at Scots' Church, Sydney. Reid's uncle – his father's younger brother – was Sir George Reid, the future Premier of New South Wales and Prime Minister of Australia.
After being educated at Miss Logan's Preparatory School and Newcastle Superior Public School, Reid joined his father's shipping and insurance firm, John Reid Limited, which he had established in 1862. In 1895, however, he left to become the manager of J. Fenwick & Co., a tugboat business operating in Newcastle harbour, where he was employed until 1909. Reid left to become managing director of the family firm, a position he retained until his death.〔 The Reids eventually rose to be prominent members of Newcastle society. Reid, along with his brother Mark, eventually ran three companies in shipping, travel and wool stores, as well as becoming prominent members in Newcastle yachting.
