The Hart Angels?

The Fielden Fallen Angels?
I'm not sure if they are Bonnie & Clydes Pals In real life they are William Floyd Fielden and Charley Fielden (standing) along with Amos Fielden and Everett Fielden (sitting). With a little imagination you can probably see a bit of resemblance to the three in the above photo? I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I told you they were third cousins to each other? Tis True!! |
Looks like the beginnings of a football team - but no not enough of them. Might have got a basketball team out of them, but no - not tall enough..especially that little one bringing up the rear. I'll just bet this bunch gave mom a lot to worry over.. |

William Martin Hart Family
Wm. Martin Hart (1909-1939) and a number of the other kids were out running around, or possibly picking strawberries for homemade ice-cream, which they all had later that afternoon/evening. None of the girls are in this photo. This picture was probably taken in Broughton, IL, in Hamilton Co., at Martha Emmerson Hart's house.
My grampa Clarence is the boy on the far left, and his brother George is the boy second from the right. The other four boys are probably all sons of Martin and Hannah Hart, Henry's brother. So all these other boys are 1st cousins of my grampa.
The other boys MIGHT be: (L to R not counting Clarence on far Left), Miles, Ezra, Amos, (then George Hart), and then ????. maybe a Burris or Walden grandson. My Gr-Grampa Henry Ezra Hart (1877-1965) is the blurriest one in this picture: the man on the far right leaning on the porch post. Gr-Gramma Lillie is standing on the ground just in front of him.
Next to Henry is his brother Martin Allen Hart (1879-1959) who lived in Dexter, MO, down in the bootheel. I'm not sure who the couple is next to Martin, except that it might be their brother-in-law Frank Nelson and his second wife.
Frank Nelson was the second husband of their sister Elsa Ann ("Elsie") Hart (1883-1910). She first married Noah C. Melton, then he died. She bore him one daughter. She then married Frank Nelson, bore him three daughters, then she died. Then he re-married, I guess, probably to help him raise the girls.
The ladies in the middle row are pretty easy. From R to L: Lillie Ann (Hedges) Hart (1878-1960), Lou Dica (Emerson) Walden (1856-1941 - Martha Emerson Hart's sister); Martha (Emerson) Hart (1851-1927 - Henry Hart's mother); Hannah Iona (Melton) Hart (Martin Allen Hart's wife); and (I think) Margaret M. (Emerson) Burris (1854-1935 - Martha Emerson Hart's sister).
Gr-Uncle George Hart told me a little about his memories of this day, as did a cousin of his, Amos Hart, of Stoddard Co., MO, both of them fondly remembering the strawberry ice-cream, which was a real treat for country kids. They also remember some good wrestling matches and scuffles with their cousins, and playing tag and the like. They also both remembered getting their heads conked together a couple of times that day, which must have been a very contagious affliction affecting most of the Hart boys when they were all together, both caused and cured by their dads!
I am now curious as to whether not this get-together may have been about the occasion of Amos Emmerson's death in July 1923. He was the brother of the 3 oldest ladies in the photo.
