She was unmarried, thanks to her many brothers torturing her boyfriends so they wouldn't marry Pearl and take her away.,..At least 6 foot tall, and built big...with a deep belly laugh and a happy smile all the time....Her brother told me in later years that she could do all the housework and still out pick anyone of her brothers in the cotton patch....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~....
