Comments: Eleanor Moody (Nee: ) | Portland ME | 1901-1920 | Comments: Eleanor Moody, 1909.
The photo identifying information includes:
• Photographer: The Adams Studio, Portland, ME.
• There appears to be a handwritten signature saying “Adams – “09.”
• On the photo itself is an embossed seal, “Portland High School.”
• A typed label on the front says “Eleanor Moody.” The label is much newer than the photo.
What I learned while researching this photo:
• The 1910 US Census Records show two Eleanor Moodys:
o Elinor S (or L) Moody is a 42-year-old teacher and head of household living on Coumplane Road in South Portland. Living with her is a 44-year-old sister, Harriett H Moody.
The 1909 Portland City Directory indicates she was a stenographer at 98 Exchange.
o Eleanor Q (or L) Mordie (or Moody) is a 30-year-old head of household living with her two children, Bernice and Lauren, in Bridgton, Maine.
The woman in this photo, if taken in 1909, appears to be younger than 41 years old. Because of that, I cannot positively identify the woman in this photo.
