· MYSTERY PHOTO - can you help with the IDs?
Two group photographs were taken on the same day at the same place. Both photos were among the pictures rescued by Richard Sepulveda.
THE FIRST PHOTO attached shows four siblings, and we have identifications from the back of the photo. Following is the caption. (Note that Levi is a half sibling to the others.)
Children of Cynthia Maria Strong (from left): Albert Harry Vergason (1877-1970), Hattie Belle Vergason (1869-1934), Frank James Vergason (1874-1949) and Levi Orange McCann (1855-1844). Levi was the oldest of Cynthia's four sons with William Clark McCann. Cynthia had five children with Charles L. Vergason (1833-1924). Albert was Cynthia's youngest. This photo was among those provided by Richard Sepulveda.
THE SECOND PHOTO attached is a final edited version of the second photo, which does not have IDs. The information on the back: “Aunt Hattie from Cynthia.” This photo includes the four siblings. I believe the photo was sent to Hattie Bell (Ward) Vergason by Cynthia J. McCann (1898-1931), and I think Cynthia is in the photo. My guess: This photo includes spouses and children of the siblings in the first photo.
THE THIRD PHOTO with numbers shows the IDs from the first photo. Below are my comments about the unidentified. Any additional information is most welcome.
1. Albert Harry Vergason (1877-1970).
2. Maybe Albert’s daughter Loretta.
3. Levi Orange McCann (1855-1944).
4. Hattie Belle Vergason (1878-1961).
5. _____
6. Maybe Albert’s wife Hattie Bell Ward (1878-1961).
7. Frank James Vergason (1874-1949).
8. My speculation: Cynthia J. McCann, daughter of Jacob McCann, based on circumstantial evidence. She attended the 1923 Mitchell-Vergason Reunion, and I have her identified in the large group photo. In the 1930 US Census for Sweden Twp., she was identified as a widowed servant in the home of widower Frank J. Vergason. In the 1923 photo, this woman was standing next to Frank and a group of Vergasons.
9. Walter Weir, oldest son of Hattie Belle (Vergason) Weir, based on circumstantial evidence. He attended the 1923 Mitchell-Vergason Reunion. My mother, who was a child at the reunion, gave me clues that led to his identity.
10. I have ruled out Hattie Vergason’s husband Ira, who died in 1900. Cynthia McCann was born in 1898, so she would have been a toddler in 1900. This could be Hattie’s youngest son Earnest Allen Weir (1889-).
