I read many of the articles and was fascinated to find my Aunt Louise’s name appearing in many of them. Benny and I were very close and Lon reminded me so much of him. I grew up in Statesville, and as a child remember Aunt Louise talking about her sisters. I met “Miss Carrie” when she would come to visit, but I do not remember when she passed. I remember Charles coming to visit Benny when we were kids; he brought him by my house to meet. Sadly I didn’t see him again until we met at Benny’s funeral. Thank you for sharing.
Wow!!! Benny named his daughter after my mother! My grandmother passed four years ago at age 101. My uncle Charles was visiting me just this past weekend, and we talked about the Renwicks, including your dad Chavis. Small world! Thanks for posting, and take care.
