We have a family portrait of the Buse family. They lived in the Oak Grove area of Itawamba County, Mississippi. John Buse married Julia Meeks in 1879 and Clemmie Tumer in 1901. Probably this photo was taken after the second marriage. We suspect the late-1900s or rarly-1910s because overalls were not that common in the early 1900s. and is considtent with the mrrige date. The younger boys are wearing overalls with ruffled collar blouses. They probably did not have dress trousers. Bare feet were very common in southern States. Even for portraits like this we see boys barefoot. This is not a studio portrait, but was taken by an itinerate photographer in front of their home. We are not sure if the family were sharrcroppers or owned the farm.
