Notes

Doris Short, the daughter of Victor S. and Marjorie E. Short, was born ca. 1916. A guess has been made that this undated photograph was taken ca. 1934-1936 when she was perhaps 18 to 20 years old.

There is no indication of where this photograph was taken although it's believed to have been taken somewhere in California since the family was living in Los Angeles at the time of the 1930 United States Census.

Doris' father, Victor, was born and spent his early years in London, Ontario and he, his wife and Doris lived in London for a few years in the 1920s. They are listed in the London City Directories from 1922 to 1926.

There are other photographs of Doris Short in this digital image gallery as well as photographs of her father, Victor, and other family members.
