    • 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.

  • Notes 
    • Clifton was one of the jokers of the family. He, too, went
      away to school when I was quite young. He took his high
      school work, a year behind Bruce, at Fork Union Military
      Academy. It was here that he was first called "C.J." and
      Bruce was called "B.D."-a way to distinguish the two
      Reynolds boys. Clifton went to the University of Virginia
      where he studied medicine and specialized in Urology. He
      married Jane Via, a petite lady from Charlottesville, and
      they made their home in Bluefield where Clifton was
      affiliated with the Bluefield Sanitarium. He was head of
      the Urology Department for a good many years. While there
      he helped found a hospital in Richlands, WV and worked
      there certain days of the week. When I finished high
      school at Renan Clifton and Jane, along with every other
      brother and sister of mine, came home for the occasion.
      (That was the last time all of us were together.) Daddy
      had died in January and Mother couldn't see her way
      financially to send me to Westhampton to school. Jane
      asked me how I would like to live with them and attend
      Bluefield College. I lived two winters with Clifton and
      Jane, and they were happy years.
