This negative envelope says, “Miss Marcella Riley, St. Barnabas Hospital #1016.” This appears to be a woman in her late teens or early 20s in a nurse’s uniform.
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1937 Portland City Directory lists Marcella Riley as a student nurse at 231 Woodford (St. Barnabas Hospital).
• The Bangor Daily News dated 19 March 1939 reported that Marcella K Riley, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Gillespie would marry James J. Lee. She was a graduate of St. Barnabas hospital and a nurse. The photo of Marcella in the paper is clearly of the same young woman.
I believe this photo is of Nurse Marcella K Riley, circa 1936.
