  • Notes 
    • Reynolds Packing Company
      "The company, which was started by W.G. Reynolds in 1917 under the name Reynolds Packing Co., grew in size, slaughtering 3,180 head of livestock its first year to more than 20,000 in 1940, according to information printed in the 1981 edition of Obion County history.
      Reynolds died in 1940 and T.J. Yarbrough was employed as general manager until 1946, when the plant was sold to Lorenz Neuhoff Jr. The company name was changed to Reelfoot Packing Co. in 1946.
      In 1952, a new plant was started and, upon its completion in 1957, the old building was demolished and a new stock yard was constructed on the old plant site."
