This photo depicts Sophia Sago Hurrell seated with parasol and many children presumed to be grandchildren and great grandchildren. The only child known is Margaret Mary Pio Zeh standing directly behind Sophia. This photo was taken in Port Clinton, Ohio about 1917 as judged by the appearence and probable age of Margaret. Sophia Sago Hurrell was a german orphaned immigrant and spoke little english. All documents in possesion of this contributor were marked with an X for a signiture. Sophia Sago Hurrell was the wife of Thomas Hurrell 11 and mother to Mary C. Hurrell Palmer. Grandmother to Mildred Eloida Palmer Zeh and great grandmother to Margaret Mary Pio Zeh. This photo was probably taken on same day as photo-Sophia Sago Hurrell 1917.

Who are the rest of the unidentified children?

Sophia Sago Hurrell. The back of the photo has hand written in Margaret Mary Pio Zeh Hammett's handwriting,"great grandmother of Marge Hammett taken when I was 12 years old. She died in 1917 when she was 73". Photo taken in Port Clinton, Ottawa, Ohio on the same day as photo- Sophia Sago Hurrell and Children. Sophia was born in Mecklenburg, Germany and came to America as an orphaned girl. Sophia married Thomas Hurrell 11 March 8, 1864 at the age of 17. Thomas was 48 years old. Together they had 6 children. Daughter Mary C, Hurrell was first born.

It is not difficult to determine that the Men in this photo are not wearing Canadian Army uniforms, yet on the back of this photo it states, "Vernon Palmer in the Canadian Army." Vernon is seated with an unidentified male standing at his side. Vernon Palmer left the Port Clinton, Ohio area shortly after this photo was taken and it is said that his sister, Mildred Eloida Palmer never saw him again. The photo's border states Port Clinton, Ohio.

The mystery surrounding this photo is the identity of the man standing at Vernon Palmer's side, the fact that they are in street clothes and photo states "in the Canadian Army", also, Vernon left the Port Clinton area about 1906 and was not heard from again.
