3 x 5" cabinet card circa 1890 portrait of Adelia Monroe taken at the Lane Studio in Camden, Maine. W. V. Lane had a studio in Camden 1884-1898. Purchased on ebay.com.
Seller's description: "Antique cabinet card photograph of a middle aged woman with boldly checked leg-o-mutton sleeved dress. Photography studio was: Lane Studio, Camden, Maine. Handwriting on the back identifies her as: Adelia Monroe. Research reveals a woman by the name of Adelia Monroe on the 1910 census of Lincolnville, Waldo County, Maine. She was 64 years old, born in Maine, widowed, and was a housekeeper living with a family. She may be the same Adelaide M Munroe listed on the 1900 census in the same place with son William J. Munroe age 30. I found a Adelaide M Munroe buried at French Cemetery, Lincolnville, Waldo County. She was born in 1837 and died in 1930. She may have been Adelaide Marlow Coombes who married William Locke Monroe."Collection
