UP wire article, 11/30/1942: "Wellesley College authorities told Dr. Winkleman [sic] his daughter was identified in Boston City Hospital from her name sewn on a slip. They said she had not burned, but died from suffocation en route to the hospital" (may be the origin of a much-repeated legend, never confirmed, that remains of the coeds were established by names on their underwear).
