Though the children have not been identified in the picture above, notes on the original item indicate that the photograph was taken on Reese Street in 1912 by an itinerant photographer who visited Sandusky. Around the same time, several of the Smith children, along with a friend, can be seen having fun at the beach.
The little girl in the picture below is about to go for a wagon ride with her dog and a goat.
This snapshot was taken at the former Erie County Children’s Home in the summer of 1942.
