As family members passed on or moved away, the homestead fell on hard times.
As the story goes, the house was in such bad shape, pigs and chickens had a free reign.
But in the late 19-60s, R-J's daughter, Nancy Susan Reynolds bought the property and had it restored to its former glory.
Much of the furnishings are original...including the mahogany bed in which R-J and his siblings were born.

[SUPER=03-Roanoke Co./Cave Spring vs Jefferson Forest; :]

Both coaches talking baseball before the game got underway.
The Cavaliers would score first. In the second with a man on third Mark Griffith hits the hot shot to second but Chris Layne will dive into home and score ahead of the throw.
Good defense would keep the Cavaliers in the game. With the Knights threatening they turn the picture perfect 1-2-3 double play.
[SUPER=34-Cave Spring/6/Jefferson Forest/4/;]

But the Knights come on strong behind the muscle of James Brenan who connects for the two run homer scoring Stuart Tims ahead of him and Cave Spring wins it 6 to 4.

Cave would sweep the doubleheader winning the second game 7 to 5.
That's it for sports. Have a great day everybody.
