This was Aunt Luna sometime when she was in her late nineties in Elizabeth City, NC's Winslow Memorial Nursing Home. Photo courtesy of her grandson, William D. Godfrey of Hampton, VA. When I saw her when I was 13, I didn't appreciate at the time, or know, that she had seen 7 generations of my family, having known my great-great-great-grandfather Samuel Godfrey (1828-1906), her husband's grandfather, and her maternal grandmother, Sarah Gregory Stevens Sanderlin (1837-1892), my great-great-great-grandmother. She lived to be a great-great-grandmother.
