Notes: Very healthy & strong as a young person (no broken bones) & she always did all her own cement/brick/roofing/carpenter work & tree trimming, even plumbing. She sewed most of her own clothes & her childrens too including business suits for work, & taught us to sew. Her father did not believe that women deserved an education and never thought much of her, always thinking she would fail or disappoint. He kicked her out & disowned her when a black boy drove her home after graduation. All the rest of Gram Jean’s life she took self-improvement classes for work or fun, like shorthand, oil painting, watercolors, masonry, stone tumbling/cutting – she collected rocks from everywhere.
