Mary Anna Nicholas was one of the earliest women to study and teach at college, presumably at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. As she was teaching at the University of Chicago until her untimely death from a brain tumor, I presume she did graduate work there too. The death of her maternal grandfather, Patrick Henry Pope at about the same age (cause unknown) and her nephew, George Nicholas (Ni3-5-1), also of brain tumor at the age of 30, let us suspect a genetic cause. |
