Identification on photo: Eva Hetrick, Mrs. Harvey Swartz
Photo taken: Weidner Studio, Quakertown PA, circa 1907
Purchased: 2019 Brandywine River Antique Mall, Chadds Ford PA

My research finds that Eva Stull Hetrick was born 11 Jun 1889 in Trumbauersville, which is a southwest suburb of Quakertown. She appears to have lived her entire life in and around Quakertown.

She appears to be around age 17 in this photo, and it may have been a school photo for her graduating class' submissions for their yearbook.

Eva's father was a widower, Jacob Hetrick. Her mother was Leonora Stull, who died in 1908.

Her spouse was Harvey Daniel Swartz, and they had children Raymond Jacob, Harvey Jr., and Robert Charles.

1910 Census for Trumbauersville finds Eva and Harvey, and their 15 mo old son Raymond living with Eva's father Jacob Hetrick, and Eva's maternal grandmother Judie Stull. Jacob, Eva and Harvey are all employed at a cigar factory.

NOTE - this photo is a bit stained with unknown source. I have tried to gently clean it with cotton swab, but it made no difference.
