Beginnings

My father, the late Claude Chaney Sr told me stories about life in Lowdnesboro, Alabama. He frequently mentioned the friendship between Claude Reese and Julius Chaney Sr, who both had great agricultural skills which made it possible for them to survive the great depression. Julius Chaney married Alberta Reese (a.k.a. Miss Tang)
at a very young age: He was 18 and she was 16. They had 9 children
