This collection is packed with documents that shed light on the history of the [Rittinger / Chusetts] family, stretching back to 1868 and all the way to 1951. Just a heads-up: dates, ages, names, and spellings can vary quite a bit. For instance, the family name Chusetts appears differently at least three times, and the same goes for Rittinger. Also, the first names change over time. Take Florence Chusetts, for example: some documents list Tillie as the first name with Florence as the middle name, while others show it the other way around.

Photos in this collection were a bit hard to come by, so the photo albums are split into two. The first album, Early Years, has photos from before 1950, and the second album, Later Years, has photos from after 1950.
