no marriage notation on the baptismal record, but some note I couldn't
read for St. Louis, maybe for 4 May 1927.

2. Convent??:In her baptismal record there is a note I couldn't read
about something in St. Louis, 4 May 1927. Perhaps she considered joining the convent.

Sept. 1935 in St. Peter's Rectory, Joplin, Missouri.
Alice (or Elizabeth as she was called according to Elizabeth Garvey's
notes) was Mary Frances Smith's peer - I wonder if they were friends and
went to school together at the convent.
