This will probably be my last post on my Mississippi childhood. Pictured is my grandmother and my mom on the right. I am in the back and this is my sister Lillian's son, Ivy Dewitt whom we all called Sonny. My grandmother lived until 1941. She was 89 years old. My granddad died in 1933 and he was 80 years old. I have a vague memory of his death since i was almost 6. I do not know anything about my grandparents on my Fathers side of the family.
I suppose the older you get the more you want to know about family history. During the years trying to trace down information about my Dad's family we learned that the court house burned where all records were stored so i was unable to find out much. We left this area when i was in the first grade and moved to Louisiana. I supposed if we had stayed in Miss. i would have met and known some of my dad's family. There were a lot of Freemans in that area but all were not related. My mom's sister, Aunt Athan also married a Freeman but no relation to my dad. In later years this became confusing to me since i never knew which clan my relatives were talking about.
