I have two original 5”x7” studio photographs of “Arwin Karow” and Mabel Giese Karow”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photos were taken in Oshkosh (Winnebago Co.) WI. The photo of Arwin was taken in about 1918-1920 and he looks to be about 18 years old; this is possibly his graduation photo. The photo of Mabel is her confirmation or possibly graduation, and she looks to be about age 18. She is wearing a long dress and button shoes; the photo was taken about 1920.

Arwin is in the 1910 census for Vinland (Winnebago Co.), age 9, son of Albert and Emma Karow. Mabel Karow was in the SSDI, showing she was born 3 Apr 1902, and that she died Jan 1969, last living in Milwaukee. In the 1910 census, she was Mabel Giese, living with her mother Emma (born abt 1882) in Winnebago Co., WI.

I also have two other studio photos of Frances Karow, taken in Oshkosh, about 1930, and she looks to be in her late 20s. Both were taken the same day, but are different poses. I could not find Frances in any censuses, so I cannot verify her family relationship.
