Earl, Della, Alta, and Ronald.

Alta McCoy.

Alta and Ronald McCoy.

William and Belle Higginson Reynolds’ daughter Della married Earl McCoy. Here are photos of two of their children, Alta and Ronald.

Edith was another daughter of William and Bell Higginson Reynolds. Here she is with her husband Leonard, I think. I thought the photo was from 1968, but I have that Edith died in 1966, so you might want to double check your records because of my conflicting information.

Myrtie Crabtree Briggs (my grandmother) and Mae Reynolds Horton, her cousin are in the middle.

Myrtie Crabtree Briggs, Mae Reynolds Horton, and Mary Crabtree.

Ada Mae Reynolds Horton was a daughter of William and Belle Higginson Reynolds.

Belle (Isabelle Laura Higginson) and William had 9 children who were cousins of my grandmother Myrtie Crabtree Briggs.

Belle and Ida Crabtree (Myrtie’s mother) were sisters, children of Edward and Mary Donaldson Higginson.

This is my great-grandma Emily Ida Crabtree, great-grandpa John Crabtree and their daughter Mary Ida Crabtree, my great aunt.

Wilber Lee Higginson was the daughter of James L. Higgins. James was the son of Edward and Mary Donaldson Higginson and also the brother of my great grandmother Emily Ida Higginson Crabtree.
