"Marie S. Gordon," a photograph by Rufus W. Holsinger taken on June 4, 1915.

She is holding a diploma that reads, "Jefferson Graded School Diploma, Marie S. Gordon." 

A Marie Gordon is listed in the Charlottesville City Directory, 1914-15: "Gordon Marie, h[ome] 218 4th S W" (p. 92). More information is needed to determine whether this is the same person as the subject photographed below.

Additional information about Marie S. Gordon will be added as it is researched.

NOTE that the name with which the portrait is labelled (or, labelled "untitled") is not necessarily the name of the sitter(s) in the portrait, but rather the name of the person who paid for the portrait when it was taken (the date and name associated with each photograph is from the business ledgers of R. W. Holsinger).
