The envelope this negative was in says, “Miss Loraine Kenney, 219 High St #272.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1934 Portland City Directory lists Lorraine Kenney, a waitress at 572 Congress and living at 219 High St.
• The 1935 Portland City Directory indicates that Lorraine Kenney, a waitress, moved to Boston.
Lorraine does not appear in the 1933 Portland City Directory. A Charles S Pennell lived at 219 High street in 1933.
There is a Lorraine Virginia Kenney, born 29 Jan 1918 in Springfield, MA. She lived in Cummington, Hampshire County, Massachusetts during 1930 with her parents Frank Henry and Pauline Lorraine (Remillard) Kenney. Lorraine Virginia married William Davis Young on 18 Jun 1939 and lived with William and his parents during the 1940 Census. She is the likely subject of this photo, however there alternative individuals it could be.
• Claire Lorraine Kenney, born 18 November 1918 in Massachusetts. She died in 2002.
• There are several other women about the right age whose middle name was Lorraine. However, none of them appear to have had connections with New England.
