This photo is from the Ethel Wight Studio, Portland, Maine.
The envelope this negative was in says, “Miss Patricia Flaherty - State St. Hospital - #653.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1933 Portland City Directory lists Patricia M. Flaherty as a student nurse at 109 Emery, residing at same place.
• The 1938 Portland City Directory lists Patricia M. Flaherty as a nurse at 15 Mellen, residing at the same location. The 1943 Directory indicates she was still a nurse at15 Mellen. The ’43 directory also indicates that 15 Mellen Street housed Russell-Altenburg Co dental supplies.
• There is a fifteen-year-old Mary P Flaherty living with her parents Edward A. and Mary A. Flaherty on Sheridan during the 1930 Census.
• Further research in Ancestry Family Trees discovered Mary Patricia Flaherty, born 1 March 1915. She was a Nurse living in Boston in 1940 and lived with her parents, Edward Augustus and Mary Agnes (Lee) Flaherty in Portland during the 1930 census. A further look at her in Ancestry Trees yielded a photo of Mary Patricia. That photo looks very much like the same person just a few years older.
• As such, I am confident that this is a photo of Mary Patricia Flaherty (later Feeney) about 1936.
