Carte de Visite of a young woman identified on the reverse as Nettie G. Dolley of Weld, Maine. The photograph was taken at the Starbird studio in Farmington, Maine, where Nettie was a member of the graduating class of 1885 at Farmington State Normal School.
The CDV was found with two others, at least one if not both, also students at Farmington State Normal School in the Class of 1885:
- Edith Stanley of Pittston, Maine
- Bertram H. Lidstone of Farmington, Maine; he died in 1886, perhaps not able to graduate
Nettie Gould Dolley (1863-1934) was the daughter of Stephen H. Dolley (1828-1910) and Almira A. (Kittridge) Dolley (1827-1903). Nettie may have taught school but she was working as a dressmaker, at least by 1891. In 1910, she became the second wife of Leander Moody Boothby (1871-1948), but it appears the marriage ended in divorce.
Nettie died in California in 1934.
