Less detail

Generation: 1

Posey Daniel Reynolds was born 4 Aug 1889, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died 28 Sep 1939, Campbell County, Pennsylvania; was buried , Long Island, Virginia.

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.
