This listing description was prepared with the assistance of AI using information and photographs provided by the seller.
Original 1916–17 Grade 4 school report card for Helen Cowden, accompanied by an antique mounted portrait photograph presumed to depict a woman of the Cowden family.
The handwritten notation on the report card appears to identify Bemus Point, in Chautauqua County, New York. The Cowden family is documented in the Bemus Point/Ellery/Jamestown area, supporting the apparent reading of the school notation.
The report card records Helen Cowden’s monthly attendance and grades throughout the school year, including reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, language, geography, drawing, deportment and other subjects. Parent/guardian signatures appearing to read Mrs. DeForest Cowden are present throughout the card. The teacher’s signature appears to read Marie Johnson. The card was printed by Bacon & Vincent, Publishers, Buffalo, N.Y.
The accompanying photograph is a formal oval portrait of a woman wearing eyeglasses, a high-neck white blouse, necklaces and pendant. The photograph is blindstamped Jamestown, N.Y. and is presumed to depict a member of the Cowden family. The woman is not identified by name on the photograph, so her exact identity cannot be confirmed.
Research further supports the local association: Marie Johnson is documented as having taught in Bemus Point and Levant, while the Cowden family had longstanding connections with the Bemus Point/Ellery area. The Jamestown photographer blindstamp provides an additional contemporary Chautauqua County connection.
An interesting original Cowden family genealogy grouping combining a child\'s early school record with a presumed family portrait from the same general area.
