Description: Photograph of Eva Cynthia Darrall and her parents, Ida Hamilton Darrall and Frederick Clinton Darrall, ca. 1903. Born December 3, 1902 in Cleveland, Ohio, Eva Cynthia Darrall was the only child of Frederick Clinton Darrall (1865-1935) and Ida Hamilton Darrall (1864-1960). After graduating from Brooklyn Village Public School/High School Department in 1886, Frederick Darrall took one year of college-level courses at Oberlin College. The Darralls were married in the Park Congregational Church in East Cleveland, Ohio on December 22, 1891. At the time of Eva’s birth, her father was working as an accountant, and the family was residing at 64 Parkwood Avenue in Cleveland. Eva was baptized in June 1903 at the Park Congregational Church, which was built largely with funds provided by her grandfather, Thomas Hamilton. Eva was the granddaughter of Luke Darrall (1825-1892) and Cynthia Saxton Darrall (1827- 1909) of North Royalton, Ohio and Thomas Hamilton (ca. 1835-1916) and Mary Whiggam (ca. 1833-1917) of Cleveland, Ohio.

Description: Portrait of two young children seated on a chair. A woman can be seen in the doorway behind them holding a dark cloth for a backdrop. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.
