Comments: Elna Smith (Nee: ) | Portland ME | 1941-1960 | Comments: This photo is from the Ethel Wight Studio, Portland, Maine.
The envelope this negative was in says, “Miss Elna Smith, St. Barnabas Hospital #332.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1934 and 1935 Portland City Directories list Elna Smith, a student nurse at 231 Woodford (St. Barnabas Hospital). The 1932 Portland City Directory indicates that Elna Smith was a student nurse at Maine General Hospital.
• The 1940 US Census lists two Elna Smiths that were nurses. Both were married and cannot be this Elna.
I am confident this is Elna Smith, however, I don't know which of several Elna Smiths this is.
