Hannah E. Van Nort in Mourning, Albumen Cabinet Card, Circa 1888
Written on reverse: "Hannah E. Van Nort (Somerby)."
"Towne's Portrait Studio, 425 Washington St., Boston, Mass."
Hannah E. Somerby was born in Massachusetts in 1843. She appears on the 1850 census of Boston, Ward 11, living in what appears to be a flat in a divided house with 78-year-old Hannah Prince, who may be her grandmother; 33-year-old Anne Adams, who may be her aunt; and 31-year-old Eliza Somerby--presumably her mother. None appear to be employed.
At the moment, I cannot seem to get any further with her. I'll have to comeback to her at a later date.
