This is a cabinet card showing three children from the Geary family of Centralia, Illinois, USA, dated 1895.    There are annotations identifying the children on the back.  I have also found, via Findmypast, a US Census record for this family for 1900 (see final image).  The children are, from left to right :

  • James Lewis Geary (5) - born 1889 - Ancestry appears to have some details about his death in December 1962 in Centralia, and burial in Elmwood Cemetery.
  • Grace Lois Geary (3) - born 1892
  • Blanche Johnson Geary (8) - born 1887
Their parents were Walter and Lois Geary, born 1868 and 1864 in Illinois.   I am sure there is more family history available online.

The photographer is Peters & Co. of Centralia.

The card is in fair condition with a few marks and the named annotations.
