Her name is Theano Sotriou Pappasoteriou, Greek spelling "Θεανώ Παπασωτηρίου". She arrived at Ellis Island from Salamis, Salamína Island, Greece on 3 Jun 1909 with the youngest 4 of her 7 children. She was 47 in this photo. Her husband "Sam" Soterios Papasoteriou was waiting for her in California, where their family has prospered ever since. You can find more about this Greek woman in Louis Takács book "LET ME GET THERE: Visualizing Immigrants, Transnational Migrants & U.S. Citizens Abroad, 1914-1925" published in 2021.

Homer has one hell of a handle-bar broom, in addition to the thick makeup he has on for the photo.

Don't you suppose they are probably Serbians?
The Library of Congress said:
Cassies grandma: Thanks for the information. Serbs or Serbians would probably be the term used today. The captions for the Bain collection reflect the language at the time they were made. We will update the source data and reload the description.
skillful north said:
