Notes

There were telephones at Renan, VA in 1919?
It's interesting -- apparently Lee, Marvin and Ben all have telephones. I'm guessing the Reynolds do too, since Johnson Reynolds changes Marvin's phone out in January 31, 1918.
Ben Brumfield is researching the people and places mentioned in the Julia Brumfield Diaries. He welcomes correspondence at benwbrum@gmail.com.
