The envelope this negative was in says, “Mrs. Virginia Friedel, 128 Pearl St. Portland #810.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939 Portland City Directories list Mrs. Agnes F. Friedel, a waitress at 8 Forest ave, living at 128 Pearl. The 1940 City directory reports Agnes living at 128 Beal (error?).
• The 1937 directory also shows Oscar F (and Amber M) Ross living at 128 Pearl. Also at that address was Inez M Hodsdon (widow of Charles D)
• The 1940 US Census shows 68-year-old Inez Hodkins living at 128 Cumberland. Living with her is her 31-year-old daughter, Agnes Fredel, and her 10-year-old granddaughter, Virginia. Virginia was born in Massachusetts and Agnes in Maine.
• The 1910 US Census identifies Charles D. Hodsdon [Hobsdon] living in Portland with his wife, Inez M Hodsdon and four-year-old daughter Agnes F. Hodsdon.
• 1947 Portland High School Yearbook, appears to be a photo of the same young woman.
I am sure this is Virginia Friedel, the daughter of Agnes Friedel née Hodsdon about 1937 when Virginia was about 7 years old.
