My mom's grandma
and grandpa, George Frank and Amanda Elizabeth "Mandy" (Goodson) JenkinsThey
are my great grandparents and the parents of my mom's mom, Susie (Jenkins)
Anderson. They were married 22 December 1895. Mandy was born 17 October
1874, and passed away 4 April 1961. She was a midwife and helped deliver
babies; in fact, she helped deliver my sisters, Donna and Sue Halbert.
She was a good natured Christian woman, who occasionally enjoyed smoking
a pipe and was terrified of a storm. George F. was born the son of Zerah
Benjamin Franklin and Mary Catherine (Henslee) Jenkins on 15 June
1872, and passed away 25 November 1955. George was inflicted with arthritis,
which became increasingly severe with age, and was unable to work (or
even walk) in the later part of his life. Yet, even with the pain he suffered
day in and day out, he seemed to always have a sunny disposition. They
lived on Hazel Creek for many years but spent their twilight years in
Belgrade, Missouri. They begat 12 children. See more
photos of George and Mandy.
