  Gender	Female
  Died	07 May 1963	Renan
  Buried	Renan Hwy 640, Virginia
  Notes	Julia was over 23 years older than I, so I remember her only as an adult. She was the smallest adult in the family-perhaps 5'3", blond, and pretty. Mother used to say jokingly that Julia was the onl one of her children she didn't have to "look Up to," for Mother was shorter than Julia. She attended school in Danville; the one that later became Averette, I think. She liked to do things for others and did not like to be on the "receiving end" too often. She was a good manager of finances, an excellent seamstress, and a lover of music, and a devout believer in her Lord. By Christine Reynolds Stone, daughter of Keene Johnson Stone

  Father	Keene Johnson Reynolds,   b. 30 Nov 1861, Pittsylvania County, Virginia ,   d. 17 Jan 1926, Pittsylvania County, Virginia  (Age 64 years)
  Mother	Mary Susan "Molly" Brumfield
  Married	15 Nov 1883	Pittsylvania County, Virginia
  	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.
