Description

Enid, the daughter of a lawyer and one time Mayor of Masterton was educated, along with her two sisters, at local schools. After obtaining a bursary to study dentistry she began her university education in Wellington. From there she moved to the University of Otago, Dunedin, where she graduated in 1926 with a Bachelor degree in Dental Surgery. Dedicated to her chosen career she continued to practise for the next 42 years, firstly in Wellington Hospital, then in a home-based surgery with patients from a local children's home and finally in her own city-based premises. During this time Enid married and raised four children. In 1968 she retired to Central Otago and her only son took over the Dental Surgery.
