This is a treasured family picture of the Ruben Hurt family in front of their log cabin circa 1904 because that's my grandmother, Della Rae Hurt Garrett, on her mother's lap. According to my grandma, these people are in the photo, reading from bottom right to left, Elizabeth (Bettie) Hurt, Della Rae Hurt on her lap, Ruben Hurt (Bettie's husband), their son Cornelius Hurt, Bettie's parents Ellen Johnson and Bob Johnson, Annie Johnson-England; then, top row right to left: Ellis Smith, Bennie Johnson, Atlas Johnson.

Note that Bettie was pregnant with Hettie Hurt Thurmon at the time of this photo, according to her sister (my grandmother.)

If you have any information on any of the people or the cabin in this photo, I would be very grateful if you would share it. I hope this picture is a lucky find for someone!

I am so happy to see this picture. The little boy is my grandfather. I have tried to copy it but it is too big and I dont know how to shrink it. My daughter is going to come over and fix it for me. My dad just died in April. I wish so bad that I had found this picture before and him being able to see it.

Oh my gosh! Who are you? Send me an email at linda.paulus@gmail.com and I'll send you a smaller version of the photo if you like. I am Rae Garrett's granddaughter; her son Jim is my father. I am so happy you found this photo!

Regards, Linda
