This negative envelope says, “Miss Florence Johnson, 12 Wescott St #1108.”
How I searched, unsuccessfully:
• The 1935 Portland City Directory lists four Florence Johnsons.
o Florence A. residing at 53 Wilmot
o Florence L. residing at 104 North
o Florence M. residing at 7 Davis
o Florence N. residing at 120 Free.
o There are also several more Florence Johnsons who are married or are widowed.
o Living at 12 Wescott Street are Wallace H Burrows and Mrs Annie M McDuffle.
• The 1936 Portland City Directory available at Ancestry is missing pages 472-474, which would include listings for Florence Johnson. However, it does indicate that John H. Johnson is living at 12 Wescott.
• The 1937 Portland City Directory lists John H and Nellie R living at 628 Main South Portland. There are two (Miss) Florence Johnsons listed:
o Florence A residing 53 Wilmot
o Florence M residing at 7 Davis
o There are several other married or widowed Florences.
• The 1940 Census lists John H and Nellie R Johnson still living at 628 Maine, South Portland. They are 75 and 74 years old and John was born in Maine while Nellie was born in Massachusetts.
• The 1930 Census lists John H and Nellie at 628 Main Street. As they lived there in both 1930 and 1940, I don’t believe this John H Johnson is the same as the one who lived at 12 Wescot in 1936.
• Based upon the Photo ID number (1108), the photo was probably taken about 1937. The woman in the photo appears to be in her early 20s, so I believe Florence was probably born between 1913 and 1917.
I believe this is Florence Johnson who lived in Portland, Maine about 1936.
