1918 Passports for John and Mary Hearn

Made some new genealogy discoveries this weekend! Found passports online for my grandfather, John Hearn (born O'Hearn) and his wife, Mary. He had been in Costa Rica 3 months working on a government deal for nuts which were used to make carbon filters for gas masks in the war. I never knew any of this. Sadly, the following January, pregnant Mary died of the flu.
