Mabel Moody
This young woman's name is Mabel Moody. She is captured with her accordion. The picture of the accordion player was taken by the Casasola Photograph Studio. Alfonso Casasola, a member of a famous family of Mexican photographers, came to El Paso in the 1920s after several years in the Mexican consular service. He established the Casasola Studio (also known by its Spanish name, Estudio Casasola) at 511 S. El Paso Street and was active in many civic organizations. He died on February 17, 1948 at the age of 59, but his wife, Emma Flores Casasola, continued the studio for many years. Many El Pasoans went to the Studio to take their picture. More Casasola photos can be seen on the UTEP library website.
