Notes for Zona Petitt
Millard Petitt said that his sister Zony married “Ern Jennings” when she was about 14. (I always thought that was a nickname for Ernest, until I read her obituary and saw that her husband’s name was Aaron.)
Her obituary in the Rowan County News of Thursday, 14 Apr 1994 reads:
MOREHEAD- Zonie Pettit Jennings, 93, of Dry Creek Road, Clearfield died Tuesday, April 12, at the St. Claire Medical Center in Morehead.
A homemaker, she was born April 7, 1901, in Rowan County to the late Willie and Molly Evans Petitt. She was a member of the Oak Grove United Baptist Church.
In addition, she was preceded in death by her husband, Aaron Jennings, 1973; two sons, Earl Jennings and Denford Jennings.
Survivors are five sons, Ottis Allen Jennings of Dayton, Ohio; Noah Ray Jennings of Shelbyville, Nelson Jennings, Lonnie Jennings and Lloyd Jennings, all of Clearfield; a Daughter, Ruby Mynhier of Clearfield; two brothers Arthur Petitt of Washington Court House, Ohio, and Millard Pettit of Polksville; three sisters Oda Razor of Dublin, Ohio, Ethel Hall of Flatwoods, and Dessie Gabbard of Bradenton, Fla.; 16 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were scheduled for April 15 at 1 p.m. at Northcutt & Son Home for funerals in Morehead, officiated by Elder Owen Cox and the Reb Max Molihan with burial at the Crix Cemetery.
