| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled Wm. Schwarting. Based on information in the 1910 census it seems reasonable that this is Amalia Schwarting (46), wife of William Schwarting and children Walter (26), Alma Lois (25) and Linda (22). Amalia Schwarting is listed as residing in Blue Grass in the 1910 Census. |
