GRIEP DIES IN HOSPITAL - Miss Lena A. Griep, 81-year-old retired nurse of 615 N. Lee, died Monday in St. Anthony's hospital following a lengthy illness. Servcies are scheduled tentatively for 10 a.m. Thursday in Watts funeral home. Burial will be in Memorial Park cemetery. A native of Rochester, N.Y., Miss Griep graduated from the Cook County hospital school of nursing, Chicago, in 1909, and in 1917 came to Oklahoma. Until Jan. 1, 1923, she was in charge of the El Reno sanitarium. From 1923 to 1926 she was in charge of the Oklahoma hospital, Tulsa. After practicing privately for a number of years, she retired in 1942. She had lived in Oklahoma City since 1947 with a sister, Miss Elsie M. Griep, the sole survivor." This must be the right one, even though there is no mention of a husband anywhere.
