I have an original cabinet card photo of “Caroline Swartout”, taken “January 25, 1903” in New Berlin (Chenango Co.) IL, which I would like to get back to family. Caroline looks to be about 15 years old.
I found Caroline Swartout, wife of James B. Swartout in the 1915-1930 censuses for Cayuga Co., NY, however in 1940, with them lived her father, Edward Lux, age 83, in Seneca Co., NY. Going back to 1900 Fayette (Seneca Co.) NY census, and 1905 NY census, I found Edward Lux, a butcher, his wife Rose, with children including Carrie (age 10 in 1900 with birth shown as Aug 1889). In 1905, Edward and “Rosiana” are shown with daughter, “Carie”, age 17. Ancestry Public Member Tree shows that wife of Edward Lux was Rosina Velte.
