Pierce county’s oldest citizen,
a Negro born in slavery, is now
96 years old.
She is Annie Munn Jenkins,
who was born in North Carolina,
just a few years before "Free
dom.” Her father’s people were
slaves of the Whittley family in
that state and her mother’s fam
ily were slaves of the Councils.
Annie states that she was mar
ried at the age of 13 to Henry
Jenkins. Thirteen children were
born to them, five of whom are
still living.
In 1888, she and her husband
and the three oldest children
came to Nicholls, Ga., to work
with Captain Nicholls. They e
ventually came to Pierce county
where Henry died at the age of
96 in 1925.
Since that time, Annie has liv
ed with her widowed daughter.
Manerva Andrews, who owns a
small farm in Pierce county.
Annie states that her long life
is due to “God’s will, hard work
end simple living.”
