    • 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.

      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.
