Scope and Contents
The Schwab Family Photograph Collection contains 259 photographs, two memorials and a newspaper clipping. These were materials collected from Schwab Homestead in November 2019 by GRHC staff for digitization and reproduction. The GRHC retains the originals while reproductions were returned to the house in July 2020. During 2020, Jerry Klein, nephew of Antonia (Schwab) Baumgartner and grandson of John Schwab Sr. and Magdalena (Baumgartner) Schwab who lived in the Sodhouse, worked with other family members to identify as many photographs as they could. These descriptions have been included in the Container List.
The Photograph Series contains historic and recent family photos, large portraits, and family reunion panoramic photos. Most are related to the Schwab, Baumgartner, and Schwan families, as well as the Schwab farmstead.
The Photo Album Series contains miscellaneous family photos that were contained within a photo album.
The Family Documents Series contains two memorials and a newspaper clipping. The first memorial is for Magadalena Schwab. The second memorial is for Joseph Schwab. The newspaper clipping contains information on the Schwab farmhouse renovation.
