This negative envelope says, “Miss Mary Walsh, 26 Adam St. #212 - DSCN4230P.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1934 Portland City Directory lists Mary C Walsh living at 26 Adams.
• The 1935, 1936, and 1937 Portland City Directories list Mary C Walsh as a clerk at 544 Congress and residing at 14 Mayo. There do not appear to be any other Walsh’s at 14 Mayo.
• Mary C Walsh is not listed in the 1938 Portland City Directory.
• Mary Catherine Walsh, born 25 August 1911 in Portland, Maine. She married Joseph Caputo on 14 February 1938. Mary Catherine was the daughter of Martin & Delia (Duffy) Walsh.
• Mary W Caputo, the 27-year-old wife of Joseph Caputo appears in the 1940 US Census, living in Stamford, Connecticut. She had lived in Portland, Maine during 1935. She was a clerk at a drug store.
• The 1920 Census shows Mary living with her parents, Martin & Delia at 42 Chestnut, in Portland (Ward 4), Maine. Martin and Delia were 40 and both were born in Ireland.
• The 1930 Census shows Mary living with her siblings at 26 Anderson Street in Portland.
I am quite sure this photo is of Mary Catherine Walsh, daughter of Martin & Delia (Duffy) Walsh about 1934, when she lived on Adams Street.
