Cleveland photographer Ray Williams took this picture
in 1925 at Isle St. George on North Bass Island. Notes on the original item
indicate that the group is from Sandusky. The picture was bequeathed to the
Sandusky Library Archives Research Center from the Alta Dildine estate. None of
the individuals in the picture have been identified. The group includes
seventeen men, two women, and a child. Seated on the left are older
gentlemen, who probably knew all too well the meaning of hard work.
Seated at the
right side of the picture are younger men, full of vim and vigor.
Many vintage automobiles can be seen in the photograph, but it is not known whether the autos belonged to residents of Isle St. George, or if they were ferried over from the mainland. If anyone can identify the people in this picture, please leave a message in the Comments section of this blog post. In the 1920s, the Sandusky Register featured a short column of news from Isle St. George. These columns were usually about visitors to and from the island.
