Comments: A. B. Cotton (Nee: ) | Portland ME United States | 1921-1940 | Comments: This photo is from the Ethel Wight Studio, Portland, Maine.
The envelope this negative was in says, “Mr A. B. Cotton, Marine Hospital, Portland #619.”
The United States Marine Hospital was at 331 Veranda.
An exhaustive search of city directories from 1934 to 1940 for an A. Cotton, or any Cotton surnamed individual associated with the Marine Hospital or 331 Veranda failed to yield any results. A search of the 1940 Census did not find a man with the surname Cotton and a first initial of “A” living in Portland, Cumberland County, or the State of Maine. Likewise, a review of the 1930 Census failed to yield such a candidate. As such, I believe this man, in his mid 30’s or early 40’s was possibly a patient at the Marine Hospital and not staff there.
