John Jack in 1904

According to the census of 1910, John and Lavina Clementine Jack, the parents of Hattie Maude (Jack) Smith--my great grandmother, were living on Ohio St. In Wapakoneta, OH. Our family has a photograph of John, Lavina, and daughter, Daisy sitting on the front steps of a house. The picture was dated 1904. This past weekend, I searched for that house up and down Ohio St. And finally located it. Many times there is great disappointment upon finding the "old home place" as it seldom kept up. In this case, the current owners have completely exceeded my expectations. I hope you enjoy seeing the house as it was over one hundred years ago and what it looks like today.
