Joseph Reynolds (My grandfather~ sldavis@nwi.net Kristie) is living with Hortense and children Coleman (my father), Aggie, James, Margie. Next door to his ex wife Manerva (with kids Mary and Billy) and also lives next to his eldest son Morgan T. Reynolds (and Myra (Johnson) and kids. I don't know why "Hotense" Lee is listed as a servant when she was the mother of the children. There has been some question to if she is Coleman's natural mother or the stepmother who raised him. Hortense didn't marry Joseph until 1901 long after many of the kids were born. Note that Hortense lived as a servant in 1880 with Henry and Rachel (Lee) Bates right next door to the same Joseph C.Reynolds when he was still married to Manerva (Morgan). Manerva's last son William Cody Reynolds was born in 1890 and Coleman born in 1892. So I assume Manerva and Joseph divorced between those dates.
