I have an original studio photo of Grace Paffe identified as "Miss Grace Matheson, 427 Carroll Av., Chicago, IL", which I would like to get back in the hands of family members. It was taken in about 1895 in Auburn (Cayuga Co.) NY. The 1880 census for Jacksonville (Morgan Co.) IL shows Grace A. Matheson as age 7, giving her parents ages as 37 & 35 & showing her grandmother Alme Whitney, 63.

1900 Chicago census shows the Matheson family at 427 Carroll Avenue! The Grace Matheson living with her parents Neil and Susan, showed her birth as Oct 1873 in IL. Father born Canada and mother in NY, which is where the photo was taken. By 1920, Grace was married to Edward A. Paffe and they lived in Chicago and living with them was her father Neil C. Matheson.

By 1930, Edward A. and Grace A. Paffe lived in St. Joseph Co., Michigan which is where they were buried, as shown in Find A Grave. Grace died 22 Jun 1841 and Edward Jun 1946.
