What I learned about this individual.
• The 1939 Gorham High School yearbook shows a photo of Esther West that is clearly the same young woman as in the Ethel Wight Collection.
• I have failed to find her in any other records.
Possible Identification?
There is an Esther West, who, during the 1940 Census, lived with her parents, Oliver and Ida West in Wells, York County Maine. (Wells is about 35 miles south of Gorham.) This Esther was 21 years old and born in Maine. She lived in the same house in 1935. She also appears living in Wells during the 1920 and 1930 Censuses. Absent any connection to Gorham, I cannot ascribe this Esther West to the photo I have.
