  3. Page 193 of http://murphylibrary.uwlax.edu/digital/thesis/1978/hill.pdf says there is no known person associated with "The Windsor" photography studio. This pdf document is a tour de force on "old photos" - it is worth peeking at Far Side.

  5. 1900 Census
    Napoleon E. Lafore and Olive Lafore, living in Sparta City, Wisconsin
    Children: Jessie S., daughter age 4
    Harry E., son age 2
    Vera L., daughter age 1
    This does not match with the birth info listing a child born in 1896 as a male.

  7. Napoleon and Olive LaFore were my grandparents. Harry was my father. I recognize all the other names as relatives. My mother hated all of these people therefore I didn't know them very well.
