95th Birthday Sees Local Woman Reflect on Life
Jennie Calverta Weedon Lee, aged 95, sits daily in a rocker by Finger Board Road, recalling nine decades of family history from slavery and emancipation to a large brood of 15 children born to Joe Lee. Her father was a Virginia slave who later served in the Army and bought a Sunnyside farm, while her mother Jennie Robertson Weedon raised a family, taught school and preached. Now living with adult children and attending Sunnyside memories, she cherishes church visits and quiet daily routines as she nears another birthday.
