Hello,
I am working on my family history and have located a cousin that was a Chiropractor in Los Angeles in the early 1900's. Her name is Mary Frances Goodwin Richardson, often called Mollie. It appears she was married to Albert W. Richardson, the President of a California Chiropractic College at one time. I am looking for any info about them , what happened to him? They must not have been married very long?? They apparently went on a cruise in 1916, were living together in 1910 and apparently divorced by 1920. Did she go to school at the California Chiropractic College and when might she have graduated? Where would I locate those old records? When did that college close, or is it in existence but renamed?? Would there be a photo of her somewhere?

Any info very appreciated. Thank you so very much for your time.
