About this photo, George Bedigan wrote: "I have enclosed scan of my father’s (Jean Bedigian) discharge papers from SS Norembega. The picture in question looks to be more circa 1920 than 1902. I say that after examining the gentleman with the suit and tie. If Jean Bedigian is in the photo it would be the fourth crew member from the left. I do not have a photo of him at that time but a photo of one of his sons (attached .. soldier on the right ) has a likeness. Also he was not a tall man approx. 5’ 7”. Jean’s mother (Zois) and sister(Maria who married an American soldier) emigrated to the US after the first world war and may have settled in the area." Jean Bedigian (1885-1950)

"Inscription on the back of the photograph: ""E.F. Ward This is A Picture of my Family Taken, June 14th 1906, at my home in East Surry. The girls were all Single at that time. Compliment of Mr. & Mrs. Hermon N. Treworgy, Ellsworth, Maine."" Herman Newell Treworgy (1852-1926), a carpenter, was born on May 26, 1852 to Samuel Newell and Sarah Jane (Flood) Treworgy in Surry, Maine. Herman married Adeline “Addie” L. Smith (1854-c.1925) on June 12, 1876. The Treworgys were from Surry and lived there off and on. In 1900 they lived on Hancock Street in Ellsworth and lived there in 1920 on Water Street. The Treworgys are shown with four daughters, but researchers have found information on only three: Sarah J. Treworgy was born in July 1879. She married Albert G. Moon, who worked in a livery stable, on October 25, 1899. Sarah and Albert Moon lived with Sarah’s parents in Ellsworth in 1900. Marianna J. Treworgy was born in June 1882. She worked in a shoe factory and married Walter J. Clark Jr., a printer, on November 2, 1904. Carrie B. Treworgy was born on May 2, 1890. She worked as a housekeeper in Gardiner, Maine, in 1910 and then married Herbert R. Fuller on June 20, 1912. At the time of her marriage she worked in a shoe factory. Herbert was a machinist. Herman says that all the girls were single when the photograph was taken, but Sarah and Marianna were definitely married on the dates shown above. Perhaps he was mistaken about the date of the photograph, which was obviously taken several years before he gave it to E.F. Ward. Herman Newell Treworgy died on June 22, 1926 in Bangor, Maine. Adeline “Addie” L. (Smith) Treworgy died between 1920 and 1930. One can assume, from available information, that the family in the photograph was – from left to right: Probably Marianna J. Treworgy (1882-?) – later Mrs. Walter J. Clark Jr. – standing at left Adeline “Addie” L. (Smith) Treworgy (1854-c. 1925), Mrs. Herbert Newell Treworgy - seated Sarah J.

Annie Downs Clark is in the center - just left of doorway. The sign on the building announcing “Beautiful Stereopticon Views” does not refer to stereograph or stereoscopic views, viewed through a viewer held in one’s hand. "Beautiful Stereopticon Views" - "The word "stereopticon" is frequently confused with "stereograph" and "stereoscope," but has nothing to do with either. The "Stereopticon" was a single lensed device to project lantern slides - transparent pictures on glass used for public lectures - we know it as a "slide show" in the Kodachrome era. The powerful light to project the image was generated by the same type of gas as miners used for their lamps. The event being advertised was an educational event probably showing slides of exotic places that most people from Southwest Harbor would never see except in pictures." - Weston J. Naef - August 2008.

Note: While the photograph was dated 1895, by hand some time after it was taken, archivists surmise that a date of c. 1900 is more reasonable. Jennie L. Richardson (1883-) was listed as a cook in 1910 census. Whatever post she held at the Claremont, she was not on the staff, nor in this photograph, at the age of 12 should the photograph have been taken in 1895.
