When Edith was 17 years old she entered nurses training at St. John's Hospital, San Angelo, Texas. She was under the usual required age of 18, but she had made outstanding grades in Latin in high school, so she was accepted. When nurses were needed so much during the "flu" epidemic in 1918, she started private duty nursing at $10.00 a day, in order to help pay her expenses for further training and to help in this time of emergency.
