I am assuming that this is Jemima because she lived with Jerry in the county of Bibb
Plus Aunt JoAnn mentioned seeing her once when she was a little girl. Aunt JoAnn was born in 1933, so she was maybe 3 or 4 years old then.

Jury is Jerry.

Bennie worked for Ford Motors.  

Aunt Helen shared with me that her father would always send her to go get whatever meat they needed at the meat market.  Why did he send her? because Helen, would not take any bruised meat or rotten meat from those butchers.   Aunt Helen would always speak up and speak her mind, so Grandpa could depend on her bringing back the best meat available.  My mother on the other hand, was too timid, lol. 

Grandpa Bennie would share most of what was on his mind with my mother Ruby.  In fact, I remember taking a trip with her on the bus to go and see him a lot.  Mom would give him a shave and they would sit in the kitchen and talk. Remember a lot about that home.
