Yes, yes, yes, this is the information that is wrong.Willie Rufus and Granny Mollie (Mary Beverly) are my great-grandpa Jim's parents.He and his sister Lucy married siblings, and to keep the two Lucy's straight my great-grandmother was called "Lucy Jim," and her sister-in-law "Lucy Tom."Isn't that cute?OK.The store that Granny Lucy (Lucy Jim) Eanes ran was HER store.Grandpa built it himself in the late 1930s or early 40s because he was tired of her selling things out of the living room of the house!Both he, Grandpa Jim Eanes, and his father, Willie Rufus Eanes, were FARMERS.My Grandma Jettie Mae Eanes Sink says there is nothing more ridiculous than thinking her grandfather would have run a store, and the same for her father.We have to get this corrected.How does one do that??My mom & grandmother would like to know.
