Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

Sunday Morning People
They look like a group who just finish their Sunday School lesson in a church somewhere in Lincoln County, MS.

That little one in the front with the short, short dress on does not look very happy about it either.
Sunday clothes sure have changed over the years. It's been years since women wore white gloves--but I'm sure it was considered appropriate, stylish attire at the time.
Someone may have stopped her playtime for this photo.
It was stylish at the time. As a child I had Sunday clothes and shoes to be worn just for church or other special occasions. Every woman needed a hat, hose, gloves, and men wore neck ties and a suit. Things have changed.
