Notes for Jennie Mae BRAKEBILL
April 26, 1882 in Sevier Co, TN, at 14 years of age. Her obituary reads, in part, as follows: "...was a girl of many superior qualities -- thoughtful, obedient, cheerful and happy; the pride of a father's heart, the one most dear to a brother and three sisters; a favorite among her schoolmates, beloved by all. Well may they mourn their loss, for the clear beam of morning promised to them many joys, and to her a bright day.
"But ah! who could mourn that there is a shore, Where storms are hushed, where tempests never rage;
Where angry skies, and blackening seas, no more With thy gusty strength, their roaring warfare
wage; That by her its peaceful margin shall be trod, That by her home is heaven and her friend is
God?" Page 2545

“I am bound to them though I cannot look into their eyes or hear their voices. I honor their history. I cherish their lives.
I will tell their story. I will remember them for I am the result of the very love, struggle, sacrifice and journey of thousands.”
