Hi, Here's this week's Remember When.... Isn't it sad that in 1968 it was the social custom to report these two women's names by their Mrs. title and their husband's name. Although they did something worthy of getting in the paper they are nameless. I'm glad that has changed.

Hello. I second this notion. I just spent 5 years tracing my maternal grandmother's lineage starting with her obituary in 1956. That article was all about her husband and nothing about HER. That inspired me to do a thorough search of her life and I didn't find out too much about her. Sad.
