ZERELDA SAMUEL

1825 to 1911

Jesse James family matriarch who was the quintessential crusty old frontier/western broad.

According to the James Family Farm Museum she was a woman who stood six feet

tall and weighed over 200 pounds.  She also survived the bombing that killed her son

Archie.  Her right arm was injured so severely that it had to be amputated.  No matter

the circumstance, she refused to leave the family farm.
