I
have an old studio photograph of Sadie HOOK of Hedrick, IA which was taken at
the J. C. Barkhurst Studio in Ames, IA. She is identified as being from the
Iowa State College Class of 1896 and appears to be in her teens or 20's at the
time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather
the following information regarding Sadie and her family:
?
Sarah
or Sara “Sadie” Caroline HOOK was b. 22 Feb 1876 in Highland, IA to parents
James Grant HOOK (1839-1905) and Virginia “Jenny” or “Jennie” ELLER or ELLIS
(1845-1897).? Sadie was one of 11 children
born to this couple including Mary; John B.; Orin or Oren; Wallace Allen; Sadie;
Jesse; Baby Girl; Fredie; James William “Will”; Franklin Leslie; and Maurice or
Morris Glen or Glenn HOOK, all born between 1868 and 1889.?
?
Sadie
married Henry Edgar “Ed” PASSIG (1869-1947) on 7 Sept 1904 in Humboldt, IA and was
a teacher and a drama coach in Humboldt, IA and Claremont, CA until she moved
to Fort Dodge, IA in 1953.? Sadie died 18
Oct 1961 in Fort Dodge, IA and is buried in the Union Cemetery in Humboldt,
IA.? She was survived by her brother
Maurice G. HOOK of Hubbard Lake, IA.

I
am hoping to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you
contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
