Photograph of painting of barefoot shoeshine boy on a white marble stoop. Photograph used in the book Twice Adopted, by "En Quad." [Thomas R. Vernon]. Media, Pa., Cooper & Vernon, Publishers, 1898, facing page 104. This novel tells the story of two adopted children in Media who grow up to get married, and uses many real people names and place names. One of adoptees is named Jack Mateland. Maitland was a common name in Delaware County, but no Jack or John Maitland has yet been located in another source, so this name may be fictional.
