   Trying to figure out the attached photograph: 19 August 1925, Dayton, Ohio, Part of the Dayton? Club, Wade, Maurice, Mary, Lorre? Rea, Miss Morris, Grace, Gray? Sathertz?, Graciee, Mother? Mather? Gray Sath* : No similar names found in 1925 Dayton directory.
   ==Family lore: Maurice ran away at some point.==Ideas/Hints/Hypotheses: working in Dayton? a mission? a church? visiting Burns or Turner relatives? Who is Miss Morris? Ideas: There was a Miss Rachael Morris who was a Dayton high school teacher. There was a Miss Catherine Morris who was art instructor at Patterson School. Dorothy Morris was a teacher at Patterson School. Mr. Ottoway Morris was a boys work secretary. His wife was Mrs. Willie Morris. What about Lorre Rea? Is Rea a surname? If so, there are three REA families in the 1925 Dayton Directory: 1) Allen and Mabel Rea 2) C. H. Rea 3) Guy and Mary Rea.
