H/o Emma (Lena Josephine Edwards) Hitt; submitted by Billy King Pilgrim
He had 3 wives;
he married first a Lula Shaw & they had two daughters. Vida and
Edith...then Lula died giving birth to their 3rd child a son, and they are buried (Lula
and child) in unmarked graves at Concord. Then William went to the Franklin
Co., and Titus Co., area and that is where he met Lena Josephine Edwards....she
was much younger than him. She was born in 1881, and they married in
1898, making her about 17 when they married. She had a son with William
Henry and when he was about 9 a door fell on him and he died. She also
had 3 daughters Mary Effie Hitt Bishop, Rose and Della. Then Lena Josephine
Edwards Hitt had another son that died shortly after birth and she took
milk fever and died also.....She and the baby are buried in that cemetery
close to the coal mines in MT Pleasant. William married Emma Kelly in
1910 and they had two children, their oldest died at the age of 2 and
their son lived to be an old man. Jack Hitt.......Emma Hitt was closer
in age, but that really has nothing to do with it....Emma raised the
three daughters that William had with Lena and also Jack, their own
son......I remember her, she was a nice
lady and I didn't know until I started with all this work that she wasn't
my real great-grandmother; submitted by Geraldine
