I probably met my great grandma Witt at some point when I was very young. Helen Bixler Witt died in January 1985, two months shy of my third birthday. This photo of her was taken on her porch on North Osborn Street on Youngstown’s West Side in the late 1970’s. You can get a more recent view of the houses in the background by clicking here (link).

The Witt kids. It’s a little off-center, Jimmy’s face is cut off, and my mom’s eyes are closed, but it’s actually a great photo of the nine Witt kids all assembled on their porch on Fairgreen Avenue on Youngstown’s North Side. This photo appears to have been taken around 1971.
