Short-Leg Stribling

Edward Wiley Stribling is my great grandfather on my fathers side. I chose him because I know little about my father's side of the family- they're a rather tight-lipped group of people, not very prone to sentimental stories. However, after some short research, and a few phone calls to my grandfather, I learned a few tales definitely interesting enough to share. So, here they are.

The Grave Confusion about Elizabeth Jackson

Although we are still several months away from mother's day, I think this is a perfect moment to recognize a kind woman and mother who was lost to time. As most are likely familiar with, the seventh president of the United States was a man named Andrew Jackson, a fairly well-famed president, however, his not so well-known mother is actually commemorated right here in front of the Charleston building I sit in now.
