Notes: 

TMT: Lorie and I decided that the children arrive in the July after the installation of Eula's medallion in October 1927: "One morning--it was summer again now, July," Chick says (376); Flem is "busy being a banker now and a deacon in the Baptist church, living in solitary widowerhood in the old De Spain house which he had remodeled into an ante-bellum Southern mansion" (377). We decided this was a movement forward in time rather than a flashback.
Definitely a movement forward, but it has to be 2 years, not just one. Charles says page 380 that the polio scare with "little Riddell boy" was "two years ago." I don't see how we can ignore or override Charles' dates, so I redated all the 1928s and 1929. SR

Summary: 

Byron Snopes' children arrive in Jefferson and Flem Snopes entrusts them to Dink Quistenberry.
