My grandmother, Lillie Mae, pictured here with her mother, lived her entire life in Sequatchie County, Tennessee. From 1920 to 1935, she had 9 children, all of whom grew up in the three room cabin standing behind her. She was poor all her life, but she was a person of great dignity who commanded respect. This monument means so much to me, because I know how much it would have meant to her.
