He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Vanderbilt University in 1882, where he was elected valedictorian and served as editor-in-chief of The Vanderbilt Observer. Upon graduation, he commenced the study of law at the University of Virginia, where he obtained a law degree in 1884. His formal education completed, McReynolds embarked upon a lucrative private law practice in Nashville, while teaching law at Vanderbilt University. In 1903, however, he moved to Washington, D.C., and became Assistant Attorney General, a position he held until 1912. During this period, his vigorous prosecution of the \"tobacco trust\" bolstered his reputation among progressive reform groups. Active in Woodrow Wilson's successful presidential campaign in 1912, he was appointed Attorney General after briefly practicing law in New York City.","In 1914, Wilson appointed McReynolds to the United States Supreme Court, where he served until his retirement in 1941.

Upon settling in Spotsylvania County, he adopted the anglicized surname Redd, married a niece of Governor Spottswood (Miss Moore), and had three sons: John Rufus, Thomas, and George.","His eldest son, Col.

He married a granddaughter of Governor Spottswood and daughter of Captain Nathaniel Dandridge. He and his wife had eleven children – six sons and five daughters – and Col. Redd was wounded at the Battle of Camden (1780) during the Revolutionary War.","Major John Redd (b. October 20, 1755, Buckingham County, Virginia; d. August 11, 1850, Henry County, Virginia), the eldest son of Col. John Rufus Redd, relocated to Henry County (then part of Halifax County) at approximately age seventeen. He volunteered for military service at the outset of the Revolutionary War under Captain Bryce Martin, rose to the rank of Major of Cavalry, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. He married Mary Waller, daughter of Col. George Waller, a fellow Revolutionary officer, and had ten children. He served as a representative of Henry County in the Virginia Legislature for approximately twenty years, including the 1798–1799 session. He resided at a property called Marrowbone in the southern portion of Henry County, where he was interred in a family cemetery. His will and estate documentation establish activity in the county from approximately the 1780s through his death.","Eugene Mason Redd (fl. c. 1835–1926) and James M. Redd (J.M.

Blaine, whose documents and certificates span 1850–1917, is documented in association with the Blaine family line.

Petersburg was a city with a well-established free black community dating back to the late 18th century. Brown lived and worked during Jim Crow segregation which extended to the funeral industry.","In 1893, he organized the People's Memorial Cemetery Association to save Petersburg's African American cemetery from deteriorating conditions and a possible foreclosure. Brown opened a funeral home in Hopewell about 1916 and remained involved with the locality during its World War I boom years. He was a civic leader in Petersburg and across the state for the rest of his life, continuing his involvement with the cemetery. Brown died of pneumonia in McGuire Veterans Hospital in Richmond on February 8, 1952, and was buried at People's Memorial Cemetery in Petersburg.","This collection contains the manuscript ledger book, \"Record of Deaths\" kept by Thomas H. Brown's Funeral Home, 301 Gill Street, Petersburg, Virginia. This book detailed the funerals of approximately 500 African Americans during the last years of the Great Depression.  The volume opens with a twenty-four page alphabetical index, listing the names of the deceased persons with the number of the page for further information about their funerals. Entries for each funeral appear in chronological order.","In addition to the names of the deceased, most entries also record the dates, persons paying for the funerals and their addresses, services commissioned, the vehicles needed, and the fees for all aspects of the funeral services.  Some entries are more detailed, adding the birth and death dates and places of residence of the deceased, names of parents, final resting places, and other details. The volume is rich in genealogical information for the Petersburg, Virginia, area.","Also included is one black and white photograph, undated, 5 x 7 inches, depicting pallbearers bringing a casket out of Brown's Funeral Home. The casket is covered with an American flag, accompanied by an officer, and the pallbearers appear to be soldiers, so the deceased is probably either a serviceman or a veteran.","This collection has no use restrictions.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","Thomas Henry Brown","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Thomas H.
