Sorry, the birth and death dates are flat wrong. She was my great-aunt, so I know when she died (approximately.) She was four years older than my grandmother (one-third of the "tres" in Tresemme" - the other being Aunt Louise) so she was born in 1995 (April I think) and died in around 1994. (She wanted to live longer than my great-grandfather, who lived to four months short of 100, but failed.) I will look things up further and make the correction.

Of note, she was also made the first women President of the St. Louis Grand Jury Association in 1973.

Family stories also say that she spoke to Congress in 1942 to save the manufacture of hair pins, arguing that they were necessary part of the war effort as a safety issue for women working in factories. Cool, huh?

As noted in Buddy Walton's biography, High Styles, she was related, through my grandfather, to Silvia Sommerlath and was long in correspondence with Walther Sommerlath.
