Dwain Reynolds (b. 1921) visited the Wallace-Truman home in the 1930s and 1940s when he was a child helping his father replace broken slate roof shingles. Late in Bess Truman’s life, Reynolds was called to repair a door lock inside the Truman home. Reynolds discusses minor changes to the home over the years, including the roof materials, interior door locks, and windows. At Bess W. Truman’s funeral, Reynolds served as a pallbearer. Reynolds discusses Madge Gates Wallace and Bess W. Truman as he knew them from his time spent in the home doing repair work.
