20.  "Dr. Jennie McCowen. - Though still living and still active in the society, as she has been ever since joining it in 1880, Dr. McCowen's work for Davenport has been such that it must not be passed wholly without mention.  Eminently practical in her humanitarian views, she has found time, in the midst of a busy practice, to embody them in a strong organization of far-reaching beneficence base on E. E. Hale's admonition to 'lend a hand.'  Allusion has before been made to her active interest in the welfare of the insane, and she is prominent in various humanitarian societies.
