PARA
ZADA JACKSON SIMMONS Some time after Eli Simmons abandoned his family, Para Zada Jackson Simmons married a “Mr Jackson”. Willis Edward Simmons had no love for the “Old Man”. “The Old Man” was an alcoholic and never provided for the family. He would send nine year old Willis Edward out, bare footed, in snow and ice to buy his whiskey and tobacco. Willis Edward left home at nine and was on his own.
