Missing life events[edit]

This is a really good article so far, but I wonder what happened in her life from 1917-1935. I found this about her important work on trachoma in Missouri during the pandemic: https://thenewinquiry.com/blog/selective-blindness-ida-bengtson-and-the-treatment-of-trachoma/ and think some of it should be included.

I'm adding a section about Bengtson's work with trachoma in the 1920s in Rolla, Missouri. K8shep (talk) 15:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
