Ben and Martha Leah (Lizzie) Baldwin; photo courtesy of Martha.

Her grandmother was named Elizabeth Walters and wanted her to be named after her. When they named her Martha Leah instead, she called her Lizzie anyway and it stuck. Lizzie was born November 30, 1900, and she attended Piney Ridge School in Winston County. Ben's grandparents were Joseph B. and Sarah B. Whisenhunt who are buried at Bethel Cemetery.
