13. Mildred Virginia “Jenny” Hargrove
Birth:10 Jul 1921, Veto or Decatur, Alabama
Death:25 May 2000, San Antonio, Bexar Co., Texas
Burial:28 May 2000, Austin, Travis Co., TX
Occupation: Owned flower shop (sold when 1st grandchild born)
Went by “GG” starting in 8/1996; she chose this as her nickname when she became a great-grandmother.
Birthplace listed variously as either Veto, Alabama or Decatur, Alabama (this from info she furnished on Children’s birth certificates). Her birth certificate is handwritten and script too flowery to be legible.
Birthplace is vague because the TN/AL state line runs through the middle of Ardmore and Veto, which are about 5 miles apart east and west. Pettusville AL is about 2 miles south of the state line. Prospect TN is about 2 miles north of the state line. Picture a diamond with Ardmore on the right, Veto on the left. One hundred years ago our family did not live in a town, but in the country in the middle of this diamond, calling where they lived whatever they wanted. Jenny was born at Veto, but we don't know where Mymama (Ova Wales Hargrove) and Granddaddy (Henry Herndon Hargrove) were living. Aunt Babe just knows all the kids were born up in the country except her, she was born in Decatur., ,
