| 1917 Passport Photo |
Francisca McIntire (1888-1985), daughter of Bartolo/Bartholomew McIntire/McIntyre (c1854-1924), applied for an emergency US passport in San Salvador so she could accompany her father, Bartolo, back to the United States.
In her application she states she was born in San Francisco, California on August 19, 1888. Additionally, she states her father, "Bartley" was born in Ireland and left from the port of Liverpool in 1858 to immigrate to the U.S. She states Bartley lived in San Francisco from 1858 to 1908. She says Bartley was naturalized as a US citizen on January 15, 1864 before the County Court of San Francisco.
In 1917 he was residing in San Salvador for the purpose of business.
Francisca is described as 28 years old, 5 feet, 4 inches tall with blue eyes and brown hair. Her complexion was fair, with a high forehead, oval chin and oval face.
The above attached letter to the US Passport Application, is very difficult to read, but most of the words can be made out:
