Finally a Lee boy
John Clare Stokes
Robert Lee in the beginning had a son
From America Wheeler in 1870 he did come.
Jake Lee they would name the son
With Eliza, Mary and Dora in Benton he would run.
Then in '97 at 51 Lee lost his darling
Mourned three years til he met Lessie Starling.
Hard by the Suwannee Shoals they did dwell
Nellie, Louise, Pearl, Meck, Hattie, Ethel, Eunice and Estelle
Til, whew, finally in the year 20 came,
Joe Lee the second son to carry the name.
This is one from several years ago, reposted and only Melissa liked it. I’m going to delete it. I get angry but how many years has it been thus?
