Zeebo is Cal's eldest son. He appears in Chapters 10 and 12. As a garbage collector in Maycomb, Zeebo fulfills his responsibilities when he picks up Tim Johnson's dead carcass in Chapter 10.

Zeebo is Cal's eldest son. He appears in Chapters 10 and 12. As a garbage collector in Maycomb, Zeebo fulfills his responsibilities when he picks up Tim Johnson's dead carcass in Chapter 10. Tim Johnson, of course, is the rabid dog which terrorizes the neighborhood until Atticus kills it with a shot from the sheriff's rifle.
In the novel, we learn that it was Cal who taught her son how to read from the Bible and Blackstone's Commentaries. While Cal is a housekeeper at the Finch residence, Zeebo is a garbage collector. Both lead modest lives; Cal does not let on to her neighbors that she is a literate black woman. However, the main difference between Zeebo and Cal is that Zeebo has a leadership position at the First Purchase African M.E. Church. In Chapter 12, he leads the largely illiterate congregation at First Purchase in the singing of hymns, using a method called 'lining.' In the chapter, we are told that he lines Jubilee and On Jordan's Stormy Banks for his fellow parishioners. Hope this helps!
