Mrs. Jennie May Sheek, 100, died Tuesday, October 20, 1992, at the golden Valley 
Hospital in Clinton. She was a lifelong Henry County resident in the Leesville 
community. - Jennie M. Sheek, 100 years, 6 months and 21 days old, passed from 
this life to her eternal home in glory on October 20, 1992. She was the daughter 
of William (Uncle Billy) and Laura (Gray) Briggs. In 1912 she was married to 
Robert (Bob Ike) Sheek, who preceded her in death in August of 1959. To this 
union three children were born; Doris (Mrs. Wallace Dundas), Reva June (Mrs. Ira T. 
Mallory), and Morris (Shorty) Sheek. Jennie was saved at the age of 10 and was 
baptized in the Tebo Creek and joined the Tebo Baptist Church in 1902. This 
church was founded by her forefathers. She remained a faithful member all of her 
life, living in the Leesville community in her own home, then with her daughter 
June because of her failing eyesight. The past three years, when her health 
failed, she became a member of the family at Westwood Nursing Center in 
Clinton. The joy of Jennie's life was her family and her church. She was faithful 
with her tithe of all her time and possessions. On her 100th birthday, in March 
1992, she requested that any gifts be designated to the Tebo Baptist Church 
Building Fund. This money was a great help in the construction of a new 
fellowship hall at the church. Her wish at this time would be the same. That any 
memorials be given to the Building Fund of the church. Survivors include the 
three before mentioned children, 11 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren and 3
