Morton Churchill Mott-Smith (1877-1944) and his wife, Elvira G. Mott-Smith

  • Jody Roberts said:
    According to the US Passport records on Ancestry.com, his wife is listed as "Elvira G.", born either on September 4, 1878 or 1880 in Capua, Italy )there are three records, two with 9/4/1880, one with 9/4/1878). She apparently had been in Italy for health reasons for some time as of the latest passport application (1921, living in Italy since December 1913 at that point), but was listing her permanent address as Los Angeles, California. A family tree listed on Ancestry has her maiden name as 'Savelli' along with two children, Lewis (b 1902) and Florence (b 1904).

Margaret Dora Thomson (b. 1900)

  • Melinda Young Stuart said:
    Wonderful image of a serious young women early in the century. I love the walrus (or part of him) on the wall in the background. Do you think this was in the SI or at Berkeley? www.worldcat.org/title/experimental-amoebiasis-in-the-rab...

    Here's some information I found about her. Margaret Dora Thomson was born in January 1900, presumably in Fresno, California where she was enumerated in the 1900 census with her father Thomas Thomson (b. June 1866 in Scotland) and her mother Janet (Beaton) Thomson (b. June 1868 in Scotland) Her father was a foreman in a vineyard.
