My father grew up on this farm north of Lebanon in the early 20th century.

Part of the Swartz farm.

Agreed. It was also part of the Schwartz property when I was growing up in Lebanon in the 60s and 70s. However, my grandfather, Elbert Snider, owned this 80-acre farm from 1904 through his passing in 1940. I have a 1932 plat book of Warren County that includes this area. The Stratton farm was to the south, and long-time Lebanon teacher Lucile Berry owned property to the north of the Schwartz's. The links to those maps are at the bottom of this web page, in case you'd like to check them out. This particular are can be found on the left edge of the "Turtlecreek Township - East" map. https://warren.ohgenweb.org/maps/
