Lenna Jane Beavers was born in Ord, Nebraska. Her parents are Malinda Ann Hankins married William Jasper Beavers. They are buried in Baker Cemetery, Baker City, Oregon.
The Hankins and Beavers families traveled together across the plaines from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Okl. into Colorado and then onto Oregon. From Oregon, Ernest Frank Hankins and Lenna Jane Beavers Hankins m 27 Oct 1901 Canon City, Freemont Co Colorado, moved to Orland, Glenn Co California in 1923. Ernest and Lenna were first cousins, once removed. His parents being Amos Hankins m Sarah E. Beavers. Amos uncle to Lenna Jane.
Prior to 1923, travel was by covered wagon.
Lenna Jane was a loving grandmother to all her grandchildren. Her five children were Lenna Faye Hankins, William Edward Hankins, Fanny Lois Hankins, Ernest Darryl Hankins and George Geary Hankins.
Thanks to documentation in the Hankins/Beavers trunk kept by Ernest and Lenna we have been able to keep our genealogy together.
Her death certificate has an error on it under her father, William Jasper Beavers. His middle initial was not I. it was J. for Jasper. And he was born in Piqua Co Ohio to James Beavers m Elizabeth Gochenouer. James and Elizabeth lived in Decatur Co Iowa and are buried there. Last address was 1335 Railroad Avenue, Orland, Calif.
One day this hobo came off the tracks which was just across the road and knocked on Grandma's door asking if there was any work he could do in exchange for something to eat. She told him no, but made him a cold bacon sandwich and told him to get on before Grandpa caught her feeding the hobo. He thanked her and went on his way.
The one thing I remember of my Grandmother was her sitting me down on a wooden stool as a child and washing my feet in a metal basin of water, prior to bed. I can still feel the bar of soap rubbing over my feet and her gentle hands. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. She believed that if you couldn't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all. I lived with her off and on the first 11 years of my life.
Lenna was close to her sisters and brothers and kept in touch with them by letter, postcards and photos. Thus, the legacy of photos left me for our history to share with our linages.
I love you Grandma. Thank you for protecting me when I was a little girl and thank you for loving me.
