Mrs. Crews and her Tenants
This is a picture of my grandmother, Kate Harger Crews, (the older lady on the top row) when she had a boarding house on Ashe St. (Lady with the plaid jacket on next to Kate appears to be my mother, Helen J. Crews). Most of the girls that roomed in her home were teachers, etc. I don't know the names of any of the young ladies in the picture. But in the 1930 census, it shows that the following people were rooming in her house: Helene Hudnell, 31 and a teacher; Ida Belle Moore, 26 and a high school teacher; Eleanor M. Hill, 25 and a librarian born in Tennessee; Mary S. Southerland, 27 and a teacher born in Virginia, Mary L. Johnson, 23 and a teacher at a junior high school born in Virginia; Catherine Jones, 24, another teacher born in Virginia; Virginia Hollingsworth, 24 and a teacher from Georgia; and Gladys Pinkston, 28, also a teacher born in Georgia. (I don't know if any of these are the ladies in the picture.)
