This picture was made a few years before Nell met and married Sam's father James Derrell Hart.
Notice all the different items on this back porch -- it was like an extended room of the house.
Nell Givens Hart, with two of her sister's sons, Eugene and Lee Douglas Griswold.
This picture was made at her mother's house in Altamont, Tennessee. Sam Hart, who contributed this photo
says he remembers that back porch well, although he wasn't there until years after this picture was made, which was 1921.
There was a room off to the left there where Grandma kept a churn full of green tomatoes pickled in brine. He really loved those things!
