***** Records of Christy Jay (April 1999) {#13}{#13}Obituaries of James Jay
from the Mt Pleasant 'Free Press' Aug. 27, 1891...... Last Wednesday occurred
the death of perhaps the oldest person in Marion Township, that of James Jay,
for many years familiarly known as 'Uncle Jimmie Jay.' Gifted by nature with a
constitution although not rugged yet good, he lived many yers after the
proverbial three score and ten, being at least ninety, and perhaps older. Many
years ago he lived in Trenton with his wife who was known to all as 'Aunt
Unie,' and many who now have families grown to manhood and womanhood, can
recall the pleasant evenings spent at their home, as they were ever genial and
generous. Here Mrs. Jay died , surrounded onlyby friendsm, as she possessed the
enmity of none. Afterwards Mr. Jay lived for years on a farm in Richwoods, but
selling this moved with his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. L. Jay to
what was then Washington Territory. This venture not being a success
financially, he returned a few years ago, and has since resided with his
daughter, Mrs. James Allender, He was buried Thursday, at Richwoods Cemetery.
JAY - James Jay died at the home of his daughter, Mrs James Allender , near the
Richwoods church from which he was buried, August 20th. Mr. Jay was born in
South Carolina in 1795, making him ninety-six years old. He was remarkably
strong and vigorous and had never been sick in bed a day in his life until the
Monday before he died. In 1883 he went to Oregon, where he spent three years.
He had four children, three of whom lived to grow up and two are living now. He
was a member of the Friends church and was very highly respected by his
neighbors and all who knew him. In the Minutes of the Cherry Grove Monthly
Meeting, Randolph County, Indiana (Quaker) we find: 5-8-1824 JAY, James, Center
mtg. compl for mcd 'with one near related to him.' [complained of for marriage
contrary to discipline] James and Eunice were censured by the church because
they were first cousins and should not have married. Other records of this
family are found in the Minutes of Caesars Creek Monthly Meeting, Clinton Co.,
Ohio. Abstracts of all of these Quaker records were obtained from 'Encyclopedia
of Quaker Genealogy,' by William Wade Hinshaw. From the Minutes of Salem
Monthly Meeting, Henry Co., Iowa, we learn that the Jay family arrived in Iowa
in 1842. Their son, David, died young and was not listed with the family when
they came to Iowa. {#13}{#13}{#13}Descendants of James and Eunice Jay were

***** Records of Christy Jay (April 1999) {#13}{#13}Obituaries of James Jay
from the Mt Pleasant 'Free Press' Aug. 27, 1891...... Last Wednesday occurred
the death of perhaps the oldest person in Marion Township, that of James Jay,
for many years familiarly known as 'Uncle Jimmie Jay.' Gifted by nature with a
constitution although not rugged yet good, he lived many yers after the
proverbial three score and ten, being at least ninety, and perhaps older. Many
years ago he lived in Trenton with his wife who was known to all as 'Aunt
Unie,' and many who now have families grown to manhood and womanhood, can
recall the pleasant evenings spent at their home, as they were ever genial and
generous. Here Mrs. Jay died , surrounded onlyby friendsm, as she possessed the
enmity of none. Afterwards Mr. Jay lived for years on a farm in Richwoods, but
selling this moved with his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. L. Jay to
what was then Washington Territory. This venture not being a success
financially, he returned a few years ago, and has since resided with his
daughter, Mrs. James Allender, He was buried Thursday, at Richwoods Cemetery.
JAY - James Jay died at the home of his daughter, Mrs James Allender , near the
Richwoods church from which he was buried, August 20th. Mr. Jay was born in
South Carolina in 1795, making him ninety-six years old. He was remarkably
strong and vigorous and had never been sick in bed a day in his life until the
Monday before he died. In 1883 he went to Oregon, where he spent three years.
He had four children, three of whom lived to grow up and two are living now. He
was a member of the Friends church and was very highly respected by his
neighbors and all who knew him. In the Minutes of the Cherry Grove Monthly
Meeting, Randolph County, Indiana (Quaker) we find: 5-8-1824 JAY, James, Center
mtg. compl for mcd 'with one near related to him.' [complained of for marriage
contrary to discipline] James and Eunice were censured by the church because
they were first cousins and should not have married. Other records of this
family are found in the Minutes of Caesars Creek Monthly Meeting, Clinton Co.,
Ohio. Abstracts of all of these Quaker records were obtained from 'Encyclopedia
of Quaker Genealogy,' by William Wade Hinshaw. From the Minutes of Salem
Monthly Meeting, Henry Co., Iowa, we learn that the Jay family arrived in Iowa
in 1842. Their son, David, died young and was not listed with the family when
they came to Iowa. {#13}{#13}{#13}Descendants of James and Eunice Jay were

for the 'Belvidere Congregational United Church of Christ' the former
'Belvidere Methodist Episcopal Church.' Titled 'A Century of Caring and
Sharing'
Page 6 The M. E. Nebraska Conference Journal, Hastings District said: At
Belvidere a new church 30x50 was dedicated August 8th. The debt is all provided
for, including what is due the church Extension Society. The building cost
$1,400.00.' Jesse Jay of Belvidere is listed as a local preacher in the same
conference journal.
Page 7
Belvidere a Point on this circuit makes and urgent request to set apart by
itself and have a Minster live in place; and I believe that the interest of the
church demands their request be granted. This request was granted and L. D.
Willard became the first resident clergy of the Belvidere M. E. Church from
September 1891 to September 1892, at which time the district Superintendent
reported the following in the journal: 'Belvidere is a work cut off from
Alexandria last year. It has been supplied by L. D. Willard, a local deacon in
our church. Souls have been converted, a new parsonage purchased and the work
is in healthy condition.' Jesse Jay was still a local preacher; also Brother
Willard received $500 salary plus house rent $72.
Page 9. Rev. Jesse Jay, a local preacher in the Belvidere Church for many
years, was 'called away from earth on August 8,1895.' His obituary, written by
Rev. Hawkins, said that 'he was one of the most Christ like men with whom he
has yet formed an acquaintance.' Rev. Jesse Jay was born of Quaker parentage
and converted in a Methodist camp meeting and joined the church soon after. He
filled the offices of class leader, steward, trustee and local preacher,
according to his obituary. He was a useful member in and a strong supporter of
the M. E. Church in every way.

The Clay-Harris and Jay-Hitt Families The Jesse Jay family lived on a farm 2
miles west and half mile north of Belvidere. The family consisted of Jesse's
wife Jane, and six daughters, Augusta Jessie, Alazanna Labitha, Euphema Iowa,
Julia Virginia, Lydia, Lucy and one son Orville. The household also included
Grandmother Able, mother of Mrs. Jesse Jay. Jesse, in addition to being a
farmer, served as a local Methodist minister, serving the Belvidere Methodist,
back before they had a building in which to worship, when they held meetings in
the schoolhouse, and someone had to lead the singing without the benefit of an organ.
Living on father west, just east of Carlton, Nebraska, on a timber claim was
the Joseph Hitt family. Joseph was married to Mary Wolverton on September
25,1851 in Astoria, Illinois and they came west in the latter 1870's settling
just east of Carlton. They had eleven children, two dying in infancy, William,
Angelina, Francis, James, Thomas, Levi, Barton, Charles, David, Era, and Edgar
Albert. The sons of the Hitt family often pitched in and helped Jesse Jay with
the farm work, Jesse having only the one son. Eventually four of these Hitt
brothers, Will, Marion, Alex and James Edgar, hiked down the creek and railroad
tracks to court and eventually to marry four Jay sisters, Augusta, Alazanna,
Virginia and Euphema. James Edgar Hitt and Euphema Iowa Jay were married on
September 24,1878 at Hebron, Nebraska. Their first home was a sod house near
Carleton. Their daughter, Lucy, born near Carleton just missed being born in
the sod house. They moved from it shortly before her birth. The family moved to
Doniphan, Nebraska where much spent most of her girlhood. She joined the
Methodist Church when she was 13 years of age. Her mother passed away a the age
of 36 years, when Lucy was 13 leaving in addition to Lucy, a two year old
daughter, Gracie, and two sons, Charles and Tom. Her father eventually has two
more wives.

coming to Belvidere to make her home with her double cousin, Ala Marion

they were married in the Belvidere Methodist Church on May 05,1904. Henry was
the son of Benjamin F. Clay and Susan Ella Harris-Clay; he was born may 11,1879
at Odell, Illinois. The family moved to Thayer County in 1880. In addition to
Henry, the Benjamin F. Clay family consisted of Herman A. and Lewis, both whom
died in infancy, and Edith and Susie.
In 1881, when a band of Salvation Army soldiers held revival meetings in
Belvidere, Henry's father B. F. Clay, confessed Christ as his personal Savior
and joined the Belvidere Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a faithful
member until his death on July 07,1928, at he age of 79 years, 4 months and 18 days.
His funeral was conducted at the church by Pastor Peter Davis. Henry's mother,
Susan Ellen Harris-Clay, daughter of Elijah and Susannah Harris, was born at
Burr Oak, Michigan on February 02,1854, and later moved with her family to La
Salle County, Illinois. On December 14,1883, she was married to B. F. Clay and
they lived six years on a farm near Odell, Illinois, before coming to Nebraska
in 1880. They lived near Belvidere all the rest of their lives. Susan was
converted in early childhood and was a devoted, consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, until her death on February 06,1929. Her funeral
was held at the Methodist Church in Belvidere with Rev James H Fowler
conducting the services. Her parent's funerals were also held in the church and
they are buried in the Belvidere cemetery. Her brother, Hiram H. Harris, was a
charter member of the Belvidere Methodist Episcopal Church. The daughters of
Benjamin and Susan Harris-Clay, Edith and Susie, attended church in Belvidere
with their parents, also. Edith became the second wife of John Brumbaugh of
Chester, Nebraska. They had a daughter, Alta Mae. Susie Clay, after several
years of teaching school, married George Spafford, a widower, and they farmed
near Chester and Steele City, Nebraska. They had no children. Edith and Susie
are both buried in the Chester, Nebraska cemetery.
Now on with the life of Henry and Lucy Hitt-Clay. After their marriage, they
lived on several different farms near Belvidere. They were the parents of Erma,
homer and Carroll, who were all Belvidere High School graduates. The Henry Clay
family was active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and served the
church in various offices through the years. Their daughter, Erma became a
schoolteacher, and married Floyd Birdsall in 1943. They spent eighteen summers
as State Fire lookouts on MT Diablo in California. After her husband’s death in

lace curtain for a wedding veil. Present at the Golden Anniversary dinner and
open house at their home were their children from California on the west coast;

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, February 23, 1905
The many friends of the family were greatly shocked and inexpressibly grieved
to learn of the sudden death of MRS. B.F. BATES of this city, which occurred at
St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago on Friday morning, February 17, 1905, at five
o'clock. With her husband she went to Chicago a few days before Christmas to
spend the winter with her daughter, MRS. MARY KUHNS. Although she had been in
ill health since 1897 she was feeling unusually well until the Saturday before
her death when she had a severe coughing spell which affected her throat which
was partially paralyzed a few years ago. After that she was unable to take but
little norishment, and on Thursday afternoon went to the hospital where she
could be cared for by skilled physicians and nurses. On Friday morning the
nurse gave her a sup of water and stepped out into the hall. She was only
absent a few minutes but when she returned she was horrified to find that MRS.
BATES was dead. The remains were then brought to the family home in Chariton on
Friday and on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock largely attended funeral services
were held at the M.E. Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. De Witt C.
Franklin, after which interment took place in the Chariton Cemetery. The floral
offerings were profuse and beautiful, testifying to the high regard in which
deceased was held.
MISS MARY HOWARD RIZER was born in Romney, W.Va., on August 30, 1843. When
about ten years of age she moved with her parents to Sigourney, Iowa. She was
married there to DR. HENRY JAY on October 19, 1859. To them was born one son,
CHARLES JAY, who now resides at Eustis, Neb.
They came to Chariton in 1860 and the husband died here on December 18, 1868.
She was again married on May 25, 1870, to Capt. W.L. ROBISON who passed away at
this place on November 18, 1883. They were the parents of one daughter, MRS.
MARY ROBISON-KUHNS of Chicago. After the death of her husband the widow went to
Leon where she resided two and a half years. She was married there on February
12, 1885, to B.F. BATES who survives her. In addition to the son and daughter
before mentioned, a step-daughter, MRS. GUSSIE BATES-BUCHANAN of Oskaloosa, is
also living.
MRS. BATES had been a faithful and conscientious member of the M.E. Church
since she was thirteen years old and had been one of the most active and
zealous workers. As a member of the Ladies' Aid Society she will be especially
missed, as she always attended their meetings and took a great interest in the
work, aiding them in every way possible. She was a true helpmate and a loving,
devoted mother. She lived her life well, doing what she could to make the world
better and humanity happier, and her many kind deeds will be recalled as sweet
consolation. The many friends who have been permitted by familiar associations
to know the pure woman, unite in mourning her death as a loss to the whole
community, and in extending heartfelt sympathy to these who mourn.

Saint an aged man who lives in rooms in the Howe Apartments, opposite the sand
pipe, was run down this evening at the southwest corner of the square by Mr.
Ashbury Jay, who was driving a Ford touring car. Mr. Saint was seriously
injured.. Mr. Jay had parked his car on the west side of the square and had
just started for home. He was just making the crossing at the southwest corner
heading down South Jefferson street when he noticed the old man in the middle
of the street. The old gentleman saw the car and losing his head started first
ahead and then back and then ahead and then back. Mr. Jay in trying to dodge
the old gentleman kept heading first one way and then the other. The car struck
Mr. Saint fairly and with considerable force. He was knocked down and run over.
He was at once taken to his rooms and Doctors Laird and Lessenger examined him
for injuries. It was found that the left arm was broken just above the wrist
while three very serious gashes were found on the scalp. At the time of going
to press the seriousness of the injuries cannot be judged but the indications are
that the old gentleman is pretty badly hurt and possibly fatally. Mr. Saint is
an old soldier and lived alone. He has a sister, Mrs. Delvin living on North
Lincoln street. The accident was one of those regrettable ones in which no one
can be blamed. The auto was running under regulation speed and the driver did
everything possible to avoid the old gentleman, who on account of poor eyesight
and hearing was unable to see where he was at or what to do.

Consciousness May not Live Another Day The condition of Mr. Henry Saint, the
aged soldier who was run over by an automobile on the southwest corner of the square
Monday afternoon, is very critical. He has not regained consciousness and his
physicians fear that he will hardly live another day. Aside from the fractured
arm there are three very serious scalp wounds, one of which took twenty
stitches to close and all three being clear to the bone. Aside from this there
are evidences of serious internal injuries. No one attaches any blame to Mr.
Jay, the driver of the car, as Mr. Saint was so confused in his movements that
Mr. Jay could not even guess which way he would dodge next. Mt. Pleasant News,

McConnell," e-mail message from mccinnellmary@mac.com (Mesa ,AZ) to James
D. Hitt. Hereinafter cited as "McConnell."); He took his own life by
shooting himself. This really rocked the family. They never talked about it. My
mother told me about it after I was married. Us cousins were told he died of
T.B. He may have had it, but that's not what he died of. My grandmother lived
until Oct. 1964 and never mentioned him to me. I have the article from the
hometown paper that tells about it. I don't believe my mother and her siblings
ever got over his passing. My mother's younger brother and sister were twins
age four at the time. My mother was nine. I still think of my grandmother and
how she must of felt. They had kids in college, high school, junior high and
grade school. My6 grandmother never worked out side of the home before her
husband died, she even had help in the house. Then she had to go to work
cleaning houses and being a mid-wife. Must of been horrible for her.

There are some valed questions about Kaiser Jay Was Kaiser also Known as Isaiah
Jay? Certinaly more research is in order on this subject.
Kaiser was married, but none of the younger generation has ever heard the wife's
name. He died at a young age, it is rumored that his wife and her boyfriend
killed him. They had at least 5 children, the names of the older two daughters
were Lorene (called Corrie) and Laura, there were 2 sons and another daughter,
the family lost contact with the children after Kaiser's death, by the wife's
choice, and nothing more was known of them until Corrie showed up at Charles
Jay's home and left her infant daughter there.
from e-mail July 06, 2005
I believe Kaiser Job is also know as Isaiah Jay. He was the son of Job and
Caldonia Jay. #398 listed on your genealogy page. (He is listed on 1900
Cleveland County Ok census as Kaiser but the 1910 census Okmulgee County , he
is listed as Isaiah.)
My aunt Cora Bruce married Isaiah Jay Sept 22, 1911.(she was 14 and he was 29).
Cora's Mother died when she was about 6 yrs old. She went to live with her
Mother's sister Martha Denny Jay (husband Isaiah Jay brother to Job). Martha
signed papers for her to marry Isaiah Jay from Okmulgee County. (Paper on file
at McAlester court house). Contact was lost with Cora about 1930's. (if she and
the boyfriend killed Isaiah I can understand why.) (we thought her children
were named Josephine, Caroline,Pete and John.)
We have been unable to locate any of Cora Bruce Jay's descendants.Do you know
if Lorene(Corrie) baby left with Charles Jay was raised by the Jay's?She would
be in my lineage.
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks

I believe that Kaiser and Isaiah Jay are the same person. On the different
census he is listed both ways. Cora Bruce is my aunt and there was a marriage
license issued in McAlester Ok on 9-22-1914 for her and Isaiah Jay.( a letter
attached signed by Cora's aunt Martha Jay who is a wife of Isiah Jay an uncle to
Kaiser Isaiah Jay). I don't know if this marriage didn't take place or was
annulled or divorced, I do know that Cora married James Aspey and they had the
children named Josephine, Caroline, Pete, and John. I found this information
out in August of this year.
Here what I found on the census for Isaih Jay.
1900 census Cleveland County Ok . Job W Jay and Caldonia Jay are listed with
her father and 10 kids. Show Isah (was misspelled) and his twin Taylor as born
8-1882.
1910 census Okmulgee County Ok, Callie Jay is listed as head. Isaiah is listed
as 27 yrs old with the other 8 children.
1920 census Le Flore County Okla shows K Jay listed as head as age 28. with
Callie as mother, Laura as sister, Cora as sister and Ida Brown as niece.(
Isaih age would be 37 or 38 not 28, none of the other sons fit. The intial is
definitely a K., Next door household is WJ Jay age 21 and wife Myrtle.
1930 census Sebastain County, Ark. Kizer J Jay age 49 born Ok, wife Dora age
27, Laura age 9,Lorraine age 6, Johnnie age 3 10/12 mo, and Ethel age 3/12.
Janice Larson gave me the name of the daughter of Isiah that was adopted by
Charlie Jay. Her name is Suzie , she told me that her biological grandmother
was Dora Jay Kelly. And her biological Mother was Cora Lorraine. Those names fit
in with the Kizer Jay family on 1930 census.

Guy and Anna Lamm lived on a farm several miles west and north of Matheson,
Colorado. The farm was suited for dry land farming and it was situated on
rolling ground. I first visited Uncle Guy and Aunt Anna during the early part
of May of 1943, while I was stationed at Lowery Field just outside of Denver,
Colorado. I had a weekend pass, and as I left Denver it was snowing. Uncle Guy
met me at the train station at Lemon, Colorado. The snow storm continued for
the next few days. I had a good visit with everyone. I should mention that this
was my first encounter with a deaf person, but everyone made me feel
comfortable and at home. I was given a very short lesson on Sign Language, but
I must admit I didn't do too good. My next visit with Uncle Guy and Aunt Anna
occurred shortly after Iolla and I were married on we stopped overnight
sometime during the early part of August of 1946. We traveled from Riverside to
Reno where we visited my sister Marie. Then, we went east to Salt Lake City,
Utah and continued onto Denver, Colorado before turning south to Colorado Springs
where we spent the day going through the Garden of the Gods. As I recall, none
of the children were home at the time of our visit. We stayed overnight, and
then continued on Eastward and eventually ending out trip at Lansing, Michigan,
where I enrolled in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Michigan State
University. {#13}Note is from Elmer A. Gates.

married Bertha Blanche Harrod (23), daughter of William Harrod (184) and Eldora M. Hilton

Wyoming.
He Charlie and Bertha Lived on the William Harrod farm near Doniphan NE. for a
number of years some of there children were born there after it became a estate
and it was sold. they moved to Wyoming. Charlie and Bertha moved to Gillette,
WY in Sept. 1923. They bought a farm about four miles south of Gillette where
they ran a dairy -milked cows, bottled milk and delivered there product door to
door. The farm was sold after Bertha died in 1967. Harrold Hitt (1998) still
owns part of that farm which he bought from the estate. Charlie farmed with a
team of horses up to the time he passed away. No tractors to pack down his farm
ground.
** **
The Hitt Family Charles and Bertha (Harrod) Hitt left Doniphan Nebraska in
September 1923 with five children: Ada 9, Ruth 7, Raymond 'Ray' 5, Harold 4,
Doris 9 months, in and old Overland touring car for Gillette, Wyoming to make
their new home. Mr Hitt had purchased the Arthur Tipton homestead two and one
half miles south of Gillette in 1920. His father James E. Hitt came with him
and purchase land four miles east of Gillette. The Hitt family sent their
possessions (household goods, furniture, some cows and horses, farm equipment
and old buggy and 'old Rover') ahead in a railroad immigrant car, which arrived
in Gillette ahead of them. A friend, 'Tater' Ralston came along to care for the
contents. Their possessions were put in storage to wait their arrival,
meanwhile, the Hitt's adventure led across country camping their way. The first
night they stopped at a farmers fresh straw pile to fill ticks (Bertha had
made) for sleeping on the ground, with little folks in the car. Many days of
travel led them over hills, rough roads, high center trails, fording creeks,
and flat tires that were fixed along the road. This gave the children a chance
to run and play , while Bertha prepared food to eat. On rainy days, curtains
were put on the car to keep them dry, but they came safely through.
The excitement of seeing their new home, an old abandoned house high on the
hill, along with a 'tar-paper' shack, which was to become a temporary home,
mean while, the family found rest with the Bert Harrod family. Ada and Ruth
enrolled in the Gillette schools. The shack was moved onto the harvested wheat
field and put in liveable repair, finally the furniture and the family moved
into the 12x28 space. Daytime, the beds were stacked to gather in one corner
with baby's trundel bed roll under and they were home at last. Rains came, the
roof leaked, and mud got deep around the door. Work began , moving the 'big'
house from the hill top. It took many hours spent in repair. New windows, doors
walls covered with blue building paper, a stairway into the attic foe sleeping
room. Alas, snows came, it blew in around the windows and the nail holes in the
unfinished attic roof. The shack was then moved alongside to become a parlor
and bedroom. The family water supply was hauled in until a well could be dug,
With hand pump for family and livestock. Many years later a well was drilled
and a windmill setup, still the only running water was carried in a bucket,
with the command 'hurry'. During the years a cistern was built for rain water
supply. The first winter brought hard work, illness and being quarantined in,
but soon spring came. It was time for spring planting a garden and fields. A
cave also dug for vegetable storage, later a second cave also served as a
cooler for milk and food. There was no refrigeration. The Overland car had been
traded for milk cows and horses. Our transportation became the old horse and
buggy for many years. In a few years a three room house was purchased at the
old Peerless Mine sale. It was divided and added to the 'bid' house for added
space. The shack was again moved, this time to ).come a shop and garage.
The family was settled into their permanent home. Soon three more children were
added, Charles, Maxine and Norma. As time went along, milking cows became a
small kitchen operated dairy. The milk was bottled and delivered each day
before school with a team of horses and wagon. The milk was delivered house to
house, to restaurant and grocery store. Ada was in charge. There were four
Hitts and three neighbor boys on their way to school. However, in a few years
the dairy was given up and the younger children were sent to the Harrod school
three miles down the stock county trail. They drove a team of horses with a two
wheeled cart to school, Ray in charge. Ada and Ruth road a school bus to High
School. Ada graduated in 1931 and became a teacher. Ruth's health failed, no
more school. Im 1932 and 1933 during the depression we started a dairy, with a
car to deliver until Charles went to college and Dad sold out. Ray and Harold
never finished High School. The rest of the children graduated at Campbell
County High School. Doris was our only college graduate, although Charles and
Norma attended college in Idaho for two years. The family grew up and scattered
into New Mexico, Missouri, Nevada, Kansas and Oregon With three still around
Gillette. Charley and Bertha raised eight children, all living (1990)
twenty-four grandchildren, twenty-six great grandchildren and three great great
grandchildren (1990).
The Hitt farm was divided and sold in estate settling. Harrold lives on the old
George Tipton homestead that his father leased for several years and purchased
in 1945. The James E. Hitt estate land was sold in 1938 to State Experiential
Farm, and later sold to Campbell County for the County Camplex, a growing
community center with Theater, Rodeo and Fairgrounds, and Picnic Area.
The Hitt family grew up working together. They were never rich in money, but God
blessed them with a happy life, rich in experience and close family ties.
