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, Mae Reynolds Horton, and Mary Crabtree.
