Belle Moore, Nurse

Illustrating a common fate of orphaned children, here we see Bell Moore (spelled Belle here) living in the home of Milton and Margaret Craig as a servant with a given age of 13. Her occupation, listed as "nurse," suggests that her duties included caring for the couple's small children, despite her youth. Orphanages often hired out very young children, resulting in their exposure to sexual assault and workplace hazards.
