The envelope this negative was in says, “Miss Mary Nason, 290 Baxter Boulvard, #826.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1934 Portland City Directory has a Mrs. Mary Nason (wife of Paul A Nason) living at 11 Hancock. However, the 1934 Portland City Directory does have a Mrs. Mary A McCandless living at 290 Baxter Blvd, Apt E 1.
• The 1935 Portland City Directory still has Mary and Paul Nason living at 11 Hancock and Mary McCandless at 290 Baxter.
• The 1936 Portland City Directory still has Mary and Paul Nason living at 11 Hancock. Mary McCandless is no longer at 290 Baxter, rather William L Baldwin is in Apt E 1.
• The 1930 US Census has no Miss Mary Nason listed in Cumberland County. There are 13 listed in Maine.
o Marie K Nason, age 36, wife of Albert.
o Mary E Nason, age 17, servant, Wiles family of Palmyra, Somerset County.*
o Mary E Nason, age 59, married but housekeeper for Frank J. Graffam
o Mary E Nason, age 61.
o Mary E Nason, age 79.
o Mary F Nason, age 39, wife of Fred W Nason.
o Mary F Nason, age 5, Saco, Maine
o Mary H Nason, Age 52.
o Mary Lord Nason, age 65.
o Mary Nason, age 54.
o Mary Nason, age 57, wife of Norriss Nason.
o Mary S Nason, age 88.
• The Maine Marriage Index indicates that a Mary H Nason married Maurice E Cobb on 31 Dec 1936. Both lived in Portland, Maine. The 1930 US Census lists the 19-year-old as Helen M Nason.
• Mary Helen Nason was born 2 April 1911 in Maine and lived in Portland in from before 1930 until after 1948.
I believe this is likely Mary Helen Nason, who later married Maurice Cobb in 1936.
