      Notes 
      • Reuben and I were the last in the family to marry, so he and I had a few years at home together after the other siblings had gone. When I was a child, I wanted to be a boy, and Reuben would help me in this dream by dressing me in Floyd's clothes. Later in years we would occasionally go horseback riding or swimming together. In a sense, it was Reuben who made it possible for me to meet my Sam, and it was I who made it possible for him to meet his Alice. One summer day Sam came to my home to play tennis with Reuben. I had seen Sam twice before - once when he was in a play at Renan School and once when we both were on a picnic at Owen's Mill. But this time, after the tennis game, Sam ate supper at our home. He and Reuben went to church at Riceville that night. The next day Sam called me and asked me to go with him to church. My first date! As for how Reuben met Alice: Alice's sister Mary was my friend at UVA She invited me to visit her during our Christmas break, and Reuben took me to her home. There he met Alice, and within a year, they were married. He attended Hargrave Military Academy and UVA.

      • On November 14, 1883 when Daddy was nearly 22 and Mother was sixteen, they were married at her home, "The Elms" near what is now Renan. Mother's family had moved from the Greenpond-Hollywood neighborhood to Renan in 1882. The first year of their marriage, Daddy and Mother lived with his mother, Betsy Blair Reynolds, and farmed with her. The next year, they moved to the land Grandfather Brumfield had given them at Renan. The home they built was located below what later became the highway. Mother had wanted to be on high ground, however, the house was placed just a few yards from one of the best springs anywhere around and, in the days when water was brought in by bucketsful and a springhouse was the only means of cooling food, having a spring nearby was a real asset.
