Mary Roberts, Page One

Mary Roberts (smallest child in front), Winchendon, Mass., September 1911. Photo by Lewis Hine.

Group of workers in Glenallen Mill. Smallest girl helps her sister Dora Roberts in mill. Lives at 13 Woodlawn St., there are 13 in the family, five or six working. Apparently prosperous. In this group is also Corinne Cuillette. Location: Winchendon, Massachusetts, September 1911, Lewis Hine.

I was able to figure out from census information that Dora's sister in this photo was Mary. I contacted Mary's daughter and she recognized her mother. We haven't determined yet whether Dora is in the picture. I will be interviewing Mary's daughter soon. The story will be posted on this site at a later date.
