She graduated from Central High School Class of 1941 and attended the Kansas City Art Institute where she was the winner of a scholarship in fashion designing.

Although she was accepted, her time at the Institute was short due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor that occurred during her first year there and the hard realities that came with the wartime economy that followed.

| 5321 | Obituary. (Contributer) Bessie May Gritten was born March 24, 1890, near Danville and died at 9 o'clock, Oct. 5, 1903, aged 13 years, 6 months and 11 days. She was the eldest daughter of John Gritten. Three weeks ago she became ill of typhoid fever and all that loving hands could do was done and her recovery seemed possible until Friday when the disease took a serious turn. Throughout her entire sickness she was an example of Christian patience and fortitude, although her suffering at last was intense until peaceful sleep came to her relief. Her mother died a year ago and Bessie was left to keep house and though so young, kept the family together and attended school, where she was greatly loved by teacher and schoolmates. Always kind and loving, she early evinced a desire to become a Christian and was baptized in 1902 by J.J. Cosatt and has since been a member of Union church. Besides loving friends and schoolmates she leaves three brothers, Elvin, Earnest and Ross, the latter just recovering from typhoid fever, Grace and her grief stricken father who have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community. But in this sad hour of grief and sadness let us not forget that their has been a happy meeting between mother and child in out beautiful home beyond. We wouldn't call her away, although how much we all miss her. Her noble and sweet young life has been spent and hers is the victory. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges.
