Photo #17 -- Home my Grandfather Swain had built in about 1903 just before the triplets were born in December of that year. His wife, Imogene Beidler Swain is looking out the window. Her mother, Prudence Ann Capps Beidler is sitting on the porch, and the three men are brothers (Beidlers) of my grandmother Swain, I believe. the Swain's son, Linn B. Swain is sitting on the lawn with one of his uncles. This home is still standing in Mt. Pulaski, one block west of the bank building on the southwest corner of the square. It was being remodeled in the fall of 2005 when I was back in Illinois for a visit.	Photo # 18 -- Swain triplets, Prudence, Miriam, and Louise, at about 12 years old.
