MARSHALL, Anna Maud

ANNA MAUD MARSHALL

Identification on photo: Spring City, PA, Anna M. Marshall (??)
Photo taken: Acme Photo Studio, Spring City, PA circa 1910
Purchased: Feb 2018 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show

The back of this photo bears the following inscription: Spring City PA. Anna M. Marshall. Then below the name is written two question marks. I think the question marks might signify the writer's lack of confidence in the time period of the photo more so than the identity of the subject.

I am presently searching for a more recent photo of Anna Marshall to compare against this one. Until then, I am proceeding as though this is Anna Maud Marshall.

Anna Maud Marshall was born 9 Sep 1893 in Haverford, Pennsylvania to parents Frank Carl Marshall (1870-1951) and Mary Bessex Humphreys (1872-1958). She had a sister named Gladys Marshall (1897-1972) who married Charles Sower and they had a son also named Charles Sower.  I see no evidence that Anna ever married.
