Huey O Reynolds and Etta Eugenia Byrd

They are the parents of my mother, Ada Mae Reynolds Dinkins.Unfortunately, that doesn't mean I can be much help to you.I recently started my search to recovery family data lost in a flood.Thanks to you and the two gentlemen (Bill and Thomas) who replied to your posting, I am a happy lady.THANK YOU!!!!
All I can offer you are my memories of these people and some minor corrections to the data you compiled:
1. His name was Hury (pronounced as spelled) not Huey.
2. The second son was James Harvey (not Henry).He went by Harvey.
3. My mother's birthdate was Sept.5,1907 not 1908.
4. Her sister Ethel was six years younger making her birth year 1913 not 1916.
5. The correct 1916 birth was Marion Leslie~a boy born Dec.1916, died June 6,1917.
6. In 1918 there was a birth of a girl who died ten months later...no name given on the headstone.
7. Both infants and both parents are in Gapway Cemetery in Lakeland, Fl.If you go to findagrave.com/gapway cemetery you will find wonderfully clear photos of the four headstones.
8. As to the two divorces for H. O. Reynolds in 1938, it's a mystery to me too.I never heard of a Premia Florence.His wife during my time was Annie (they lived in Groveland, Fl).I've always assumed she was "the other woman".
Hope something in this is helpful to you.Feel free to email me if you have any questions, want stories, would like to tell me why you are searching for this family, and/or would be interested in participating in my next search: finding her parents.I'm going to post a request for Byrds, but; without given names, I don't have much hope.
