Hello, I am trying to help a photo that I saw on EBay get reunited with it's family.
The back of the photo says: "Joseph Caldwell from Ireland, Addie Mae Bowen Caldwell
- Charleston, Indiana and William Kenneth Caldwell - born 1903. My Aunt Addie and Uncle
Joe, Bessie Hibes Champion."
Some quick research shows that Joseph and Addie were married approximately 1885. Joseph
was born July 1869 and Addie was born August 1865 in Indiana. Joseph immigrated to this
country in 1888 and was a naturalized citizen. Joseph and Addie are listed on the
1900/1910/1920/1930 censuses living in Charleston, Clark, Indiana. On the 1910 Census
Addie's father, Festus Wallace Bowen, age 75 was living with them. William Kenneth
Caldwell married Elizabeth C. in approximately 1925 in Indiana and were living in Utica,
Clark, Indiana on the 1930 census.
I was not able to find any leads to descendents of these people in the short time that I
was able to research them.
If they belong to you, you can find the picture if you do a search on "Caldwell
family" and the picture will come up. It is up for bid until 2/22.
