  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.

• Notes

  Posey seemed to "take me under his wing". Even though I was a child and he about grown, we wrestled hard. Once when I was perhaps three or four years old, Posey was plowing a double horse plow, and I wanted to ride the plow. He was afraid I would get hurt, but rather than disappoint me, he let me climb up on his back, put one foot in his hip pocket, the other in his suspender, and ride around the field as he plowed. Posey was a home boy - didn't like to be far away from the family. He went to Bouis Creek School in North Carolina but came home with homesickness. After he was married he took a course in mechanics in Detroit, even though it meant leaving his wife and baby at Mother's. Posey had an inventive mind, very good at mechanics. He had such a big heart that he found handling business not his chief talent. He too, enjoyed singing and playing the guitar.
