        David C Reynolds, 2nd child of John B Reynolds & Tabitha Mahan. David was married to Ella Smith and I have included two of his children, Percy Vaden Reynolds & Raymond tRyland Reynolds hat are buried with him. I have cross checked and they are indeed his children. All these are buried in Hollywood Baptist Church Cemetery, I have visited the site many times, took the pics myself, even though some may be bad to bad cemetery conditions, but I know for a fact they are there.
        Fannie Reynolds was Raymond's wife.
