After deciding that this woman was the Margaret Bauman in the Class of 1935, her obituary belies that fact. - Her obituary, probably written by her sister-in-law, Margaret "Peggy" Walsh Bauman, who died in 2015, states that the Margaret Bauman, subject of this research, graduated from the St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing. Is that possibly an error? Please email lcflu@aol.com if you know who the St. Francis Margaret Bauman was.
