This week's Throwback Thursday features a portrait of Mary L. Rodeck (1894-1934), the granddaughter of Benjamin Campbell and the daughter of Lena Rodeck nee Campbell and Saul George Rodeck.
This photograph was captured around 1906, in the midst of Mary's high school career.
According to later census records from the 1910s and 1920s, Lena never married and lived with her mother in Campbell into her 30s.
We don't know much about Mary's later years, but we are actively researching her life in Campbell in the twentieth century including her early death at 40 years of age in 1934.
