Jessie Bullock Quinlan

Continuing with the little collection of Quinlan photos … this graceful portrait is identified by a handwritten note on the back as Jessie Quinlan. There is no date, and I have yet to learn during what time span Roland(?) Grabill operated his Hobart studio. From general appearances, I would place this photo, very roughly, in the early to mid-1930s. In the 1930 Census, Jessie was 53 years old.

Roland is my great-grandfather. He died suddenly in 1943 at the young age of 48. In the 1940 census he shows no income, not sure why. In the 1930 and 1920 census he is shown to be a photographer. Hope this helps a little!

Thank you for the information. I just noticed that he is described in the 1940-41 Hobart City Directory as an "apt. house custodian."
