Shared note

Eden Valley Journal 11/3/1927 Miss Lois Martin passed the state board examination as a registered pharmacist recently. She received the high average of 93 %. Miss Martin is a graduate from our local high school and the first from this village to graduate from the U. of MN as a pharmacist of the fair sex. Her future plans are not perfected. We congratulate Miss Martin & wish her success as an apothecarian.

Lyle Martin: "Lois Martin graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1926. After her internship in the Mark Pharmacy at Fosston, Minnesota and passing the state boards, she was a registered pharmacist. She practised her profession at Lakeville, Minnesota before returning to Minneapolis where she worked at the Jacobson Pharmacy. In 1932 she became ill with tuberculosis and spent several years in the Glenlake Sanatorium. After the disease was arrested (there was no cure then) she returned to her profession for some years. After two more bouts and stays at the sanatorium she moved to Long Beach, California where she died in 1948."

We have scanned (in 2013) about 70 letters from Lois to her sister Edna written between 1923 and 1940. They were in the possession of Pete Tintes's widow in Willmar. Though Lois had TB, Pete Tintes lists the cause of death as pneumonia and hemorrhage.
