Reuben Martin Hitt Family Photo (1911) Goss, MS

This is a photo taken at the home of Reuben Martin Hitt in Goss, MS in 1911. If you hold the cursor over an individual, their name should appear (this does not work for touchscreen devices like iPads). If you click on a face, a new page will display with information from a genealogical database.

This is a remarkably complete family photograph. Pictured are Reuben Martin Hitt and his eight children, four of their five spouses, and all fourteen grandchildren that existed at that time. There are three other extended family members and one friend. See below for a detailed list.

I am grateful to Martin Robbins, a great-great-grandson of Reuben Martin Hitt, who supplied a digital form of this photo. He had a scan made of the original which is in his dad's home in Goss.
