• Notes

  Edith told me that she was named after Nannie Edith Hennessee & Louise McGee. Always try to manage a visit with Edith when I am in McMinnville as she is one of the most engaging and personable people I know. In addition, it occurs to me that she is now the matriarch of the HENNESSEE clan of Warren County. As my Dad's first cousin, she grew up with my grandfather Jesse Hennessee's children, and she recounts charming insights to the personalities of each of my father's siblings. Alzheimer's is beginning to set in, however her memories of long-ago are fresh and entertaining. She is a wonderful raconteuse and her bright blues eyes sparkle with her stories of family lore... August 4, 2012 - I was with a heavy heart that I learned of Edith's passing. She was the last of my father's generation...DAH
