Margaret Inez Robinson married Forest Jasper Beverly on April 7, 1912 in Waycross, Ware County, Georgia. Margaret Inez (Robinson) Beverly died July 2, 1973 in Waycross, Ware County, Georgia Born to Edward and Sarah Jane (Wildes) Robinson, she lived her early life within a large family at Naval Stores Operations (Turpentine Stills) with the little houses for mostly black people to live in, who worked the trees to extract the gum that was distilled into turpentine and rosin. According to both Inez and her husband "Jep", her mother Mrs. Sarah Jane (Wildes) Robinson did not approve their dating, and she had become convinced that it was all off between Jep and Inez. However, on the day he was to marry another young lady, Inez and Jep were wed. Inez was 16 years of age and Jep was 19. They were married for several years before they had a child and then over a period of forty years eight children were born to them Inez was a homebody. She loved for people, especially family to come to her home, but she was content to play the role of wife, mother and homemaker day after day in her own home. None of her children could ever say that they came home school to find mother gone and no food prepared. Her children left early in the morning to ride a school bus to school. She would be already washing clothes when they left and she would still be busy with the task when they arrived back home late in the afternoon. She cooked more than half of her married life on a wood stove. She scrubbed her floors with a "shuck" scrub and 'lye" soap. Sometimes she would allow the younger children to ride the scrub to make it heavy as it was pushed over the floors. The "rear" of the child would sting for hours where the lye water touched the skin. What a joy she experienced in 1936 when she got her first electric washing machine. In quick order came an electric stove, refrigerator, floor furnace to heat the house, a water heater and a huge attic fan to cool the house, especially at night, and oh yes, hardwood floors and the "shuck" scrub and "lye" soap became history. Her family came f! irst. On Sunday morning she stayed home and had the Sunday dinner ready when the rest of the family returned home from Church. Always there were guests for dinner on Sunday. Somehow the food and the people came out even. It was that "sixth sense" born of years of experience on the part of a mother that made it so. Inez was close kin to Nichodemus in the Bible. The Bible says he came to the Lord by night, and so did she. She was always in attendance at night. When someone said something that was out of the ordinary, or almost unbelievable, her stock statement was, "I want you to listen to that." One of the great highlights of her life was when they reached the 50 year plateau together and their children gave them a great Golden Wedding Anniversary Celebration and reception. She talked about it for the rest of her 12 years. She had certain things that she would not consider doing under any circumstances. Once it was remarked to her that her father, Ed Robinson never saw an airplane before he died. Her immediate reply was, "And you can say when Inez is dead, she never rode in one." After sending children to school for 40 years, and living to see all of her children married with children of their own, her tired heart refused to beat any longer and on July 2, 1973 almost to the age of 78, she "slept the sleep of death." She never earned a dollar outside the home in her life, but she left her children "THINGS" that money cannot buy and the world cannot take away. Her Memorial Service was conducted by her son , Rev. F.J. Beverly Jr.. He just talked about, "I remember Mama." Grandsons were pallbearers. On Mothers Day and Easter and at Christmastime fresh flowers are present in a permanent marble vase on the family headstone saying to all who pass by, THE BEVERLY CLAN HAS NOT FORGOTTEN ITS HERITAGE. Forest Jasper Beverly and Margaret Inez (Robinson) Beverly had eight children: James T. Beverly, Sarah Beatrice Beverly, Mary Alene Beverly, Forest Jasper Beverly Jr.,Virginia Inez Beverly, Betty Jo Beverly, Robert Wesley Beverly and Ruth Nelline Beverly. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
