This picture was taken at the home of Joel Hitt and Elizabeth Robertson Hitt at 102 East Street in Clinton, MS. The front porch and shutters are distinctive. This house faced due west, so from the shadows of the porch cast onto the house, I estimate that the photo was taken early to mid-afternoon in the fall or spring. I'm not sure what occassion would have gathered all seven children and all five (at that time) grandchildren together in such nice clothes.
