Ruben Sidney Reynolds

Notes:

Reuben and I were the last in the family to marry, so he
and I had a few years at home together after the other
siblings had gone. When I was a child, I wanted to be a
boy, and Reuben would help me in this dream by dressing me
in Floyd's clothes. Later in years we would occasionally
go horseback riding or swimming together. In a sense, it
was Reuben who made it possible for me to meet my Sam, and
it was I who made it possible for him to meet his Alice.
One summer day Sam came to my home to play tennis with
Reuben. I had seen Sam twice before - once when he was in
a play at Renan School and once when we both were on a
picnic at Owen's Mill. But this time, after the tennis
game, Sam ate supper at our home. He and Reuben went to
church at Riceville that night. The next day Sam called me
and asked me to go with him to church. My first date! As
for how Reuben met Alice: Alice's sister Mary was my
friend at UVA She invited me to visit her during our
Christmas break, and Reuben took me to her home. There he
met Alice, and within a year, they were married. He
attended Hargrave Military Academy and UVA.
