Weldon Ivey ... He passed away in 2001.
Weldon grew up in Northwest Florida near Graceville, Florida. He did work on his father's farm and passed through the great depression helping with the farming and providing the family with their food needs.
His fondest memories seemed to have been being with his family and the excellent country cooking his mother provided.He once told me about how he enjoyed coming home from school. My grandmother would usually have some warm sweet potatoes he would eat as he went to plow the field.
It was amazing how much they produced to feed the family. This is saying a lot when you consider the family consisted of the parents and four hard working (hungry) boys. They also helped those in need to have a place to stay and good food available. Helping other was pretty much the way it was in Galilee Community.
My father lived a life full of the riches of memory, historical experence and an unfailing love!
Burial: September 26. 2001, Galilee Community Church, Jackson County, Florida.
