A picture is available with the following caption:

The Violett Sisters
First row: Susan Violett and Sarah Violett,
Second row: Louise Violett and Nancy Violett
The above picture is that of the Violett Sisters of Lost Creek, SmithCounty, Tn..
My best guess for the year the picture was taken is 1918-1920.

It was said by the Violett girls that Lost Creek was the loneliest placeon earth.
Their father, Chapman Romel Violett settled at the head of Lost Creek andat the
end of Lost Creek Rd. I have driven that road before, and I can vouch forthe fact
that it is a lonely place. I can well imagine how it must have been backin the 1800's
when these girls were growing up. It must have been lonesome indeed.Chapman Romel
Violett married a girl that lived on Kinney's Bend Rd. at the entrance toLost Creek
Rd. Her name was Jane Harriet Hazzard (b. July 19, 1814 in NC, d. Oct. 2,1891 Lost
Creek, Smith Co., Tn) The Hazzard family were very early settlers onKinney's Bend
as were the Violetts on Lost Creek Rd.
