Helen Manchester
Toronto Daily Star, April 20 1927
I looked Ms. Manchester up in the Toronto city directories. The 1928 city directory still lists her as a student and living at 70 Edgewood Avenue, but the 1929 directory lists her as Helen J. Manchester, dentist, living at 70 Edgewood and with her practice at 1519 Gerrard East. (The middle initial will become relevant.)
Ms. Manchester remained in her practice for many years. The 1945 directory also lists her as living at 70 Edgewood and working at 1519 Gerrard East. By 1955, she had moved her dental practice to 245 Coxwell, and the 1967 directory still lists her as working there and living at 70 Edgewood.
However, the 1968 directory shows a change. She isn't listed under Helen J. Manchester, but the streets section of the directory lists Helen J. Bowman living at 70 Edgewood - she got married and was enjoying a well-earned retirement after nearly 40 years of looking at people's teeth.
