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.

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)
