Lessie Jordan Baucom holding Illa Jordan. Not sure where the photo was taken. Probably 1927 in Tenn?
Photo above: Lennie Lee Thornton Jordan, mother of Lessie O. Jordan Baucom with her brother, Al Thornton. Everyone called her Granny. She died in November of 1961.
The photo of Lennie was taken in the yard of Comer & Lessie's home in Birmingham, AL, in the Germania Park neighborhood of the West End community. The home was the former orphanage known as the Lula May Foster Home for Boys.
Mornings in april
Sharing the secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me
Lives on and on
'Cause I know you by heart
