The Topeka Daily State Journal, Wednesday, July 9, 1919 July 9, 1919
Woman In A.L. Post.
Miss Nella Marine Woods Was Army Nurse During War.

The first woman to become a member of Capital Post No. 1, American Legion, was
Miss Nella Marine WOODS, 716 Tyler street, who joined today. She was a member of
the army nurse corps, in hospital unit No. 1, from March 39, 1918 to February
11, 1919.
Women who saw service in the nurse corps, signal corps or as yoemenetts in the
navy, are eligible for membership. They are not auxiliary legionaires, but full
fledged ones, having the same place in the legion as the doughboy or "gob."
Since her discharge, Miss Woods has been connected with the city health
department as contagion nurse.
