    1. [COLEGROVE] AAUW award to Edith Alice Colegrove
    2. >From what I can ascertain, Frederic Arthur Colegrove b. 1911 d 1990 (and son of Herman C Colegrove of Great Bend, Kansas) went by the name of Arthur. His son, I believe, went by Arthur, jr. My only proof is the geographical location, previous newspaper articles, and census enumerations for the area. However, I believe that Frederick (Fred) arthur and Anna Gabel were the parents of an Edith Alice Colegrove mentioned in the following article (they were married in 1933). I recall seeing several other articles about an Edith Alice Colegrove that performed in dance recitals under the guidance of her mother. There is another Edith Alice Colegrove in this geographical area and a sister to Frederic Arthur but she would have been too old to be the lady mentioned here: The Tribune (Great bend, Kansas) Friday, May 15, 1953 Winner of AAUW Scholarship The 3150 AAUW scholarship for the current year has been awarded to Edith alice Colegrove, 17, daughter of Mr and Mrs Arthur Colegrove 2722 17th. She is a senior at Great Bend high school and was chosen by the board of the local branch of the American Association of University Women. Presentation of the annual award was made by Mrs E.L. fuller, branch president at the high school, recognition assembly this morning. Selection of the award winner for 1953 was not based on scholarship alone, although the candidates considered were required to ahve a B average. The fund is presented to a senior girl who plans to attend an AAUW approved college and has interests in activities other than actual classes, as well as the individuals own attitude and efforts in obtaining an education. Miss Colegrove plans to enter a five-year nursing course at the University of Kansas this fall. During her high school education she has been amember of Kayettes Future Homemakers board and participated in dramatics and the modern dance class.
