    1. [PAPhl] CASWELL Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of E. H. CASWELL which was taken at the Ralph F. Channel Studio in Phoenixville, PA. The photograph was taken on 9 Sept 1872 and indicates that the infant in the photograph was born 1 Jan 1872 and weighs 21 pounds at the time. Based on limited research I believe that I've been able to locate the following information regarding the infant (Edward Henry CASWELL) and his family as follows: Edward Henry CASWELL was b. 1 Jan 1872 in Mount Clair, PA to parents Rosston CASWELL (b. Pennsylvania) and Miss MILLER (b. Pennsylvania). Edward married Lillian CASWELL and he died 10 Aug 1933 in Pittsburgh, PA. The cause of death was suicide with a gunshot wound to the head. Census records provide the following information: 1880 census of Upper Providence, PA: J. R. CASWELL, age 44, a Railroad Depot Clerk, born PA, parents born CT/PA Catharine CASWELL, wife, age 44, Keeping House, born PA, parents born PA Edward H. CASWELL, son, age 8, born PA 1900 census of Philadelphia, PA: - boarding in the home of William and Leona PAINTER Edward CASWELL, age 28, born Jan 1872, married 4 years, born PA, parents born KY/PA, a Railroad office clerk Lily M. CASWELL, wife, age 28, born Jun 1871, married 4 years, no children, born PA, parents born IN/PA 1910 census of Pittsburgh, PA: Edward H. CASWELL, age 39, first marriage 14 years, born PA, parents born PA, a Laundry Manager Lillian M. CASWELL, wife, age 39, second marriage 14 years, no children, born PA, parents born IN/PA 1930 census of Pittsburgh, PA: Henry E. CASWELL, age 58, married at age 25, born PA, parents born CT/PA, a Laundry Manager Lilly M. CASWELL, wife, age 55, married at age 22, born PA, parents born PA, parents born IN/PA I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
