Jennie Haskins Coleman Lawson "PawPaw"

This photo was just sent to me by a cousin, Rob Lett. It is of our great-grandmother, Jennie Haskins Coleman Lawson, better known to us as "PawPaw". It is a great photo because she is holding a fistful of money and wearing a silly hat. I would estimate that this picture was taken in the early-to-mid seventies. She was living with my grandmother in Richmond at that time.

Pawpaw never smoke, drank nor wore a bathing suit and she once had thirteen teeth pulled by a veterinarian, with no anesthesia. She was a petite woman, less than five feet tall and weighed less than one hundred pounds. She had a sweet disposition and loved her family dearly.
