"Miss Maggie Harris," a photograph by Rufus W. Holsinger taken on March 15, 1915.

Two women named Maggie Harris are listed in the Charlottesville City Directory, 1914-15: "Harris Maggie, dom[estic] h[ome] 613 Cabell"; "Harris Maggie, cook h[ome] 312 12th S W" (p. 99). They may or may not be the same Maggie Harris as pictured below.

Additional information about Miss Maggie Harris 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).
