HISTORY
1930 Miss Maisie Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Campbell, Canning-road, East Fremantle, was the recipient of an untold number of congratulations last Friday when it was officially announced that she had gained the distinction of becoming Western Australia’s third woman dentist. Miss Campbell, Dip., D.S., was a student at the Perth Dental Hospital, and her work there was of such a nature that she gained unstinted praise from the leaders of the profession. It is understood that after Miss Campbell enjoys a quiet rest in the country that she will practise in East Fremantle. (reference)
