SERENDIPITY: Ten female members of the "Class of 1916," Jewish Hospital, St.Louis, MO, can be found on page 194 of the May-June 1998 issue of "The Genealogical Helper" magazine. The only one identified was Ada Christina Cecil who, upon receiving her diploma, immediately boarded a train to San Antonio, TX, where her fiance, Cole F. Smith, MD, met her, license in hand. The Nixon, TX submitter (K. M. Smith) is her daughter. Please reference that issue for further details.

Perhaps this "snippet" will provide just the right clue for a researcher with roots in St. Louis.
