Marjorie Church Burbank of New York
I am writing a collective biography of the 169 librarians who headed neighborhood branch libraries of the New York Public Library (NYPL), 1901-1950.
On of them was Marjorie Church Burbank who was a graduate of the Rye Seminary, probably in 1912. She started work at NYPL in 1915, graduated from the NYPL Library School in 1917, was promoted to Branch Librarian in 1939, and served as the head of two branches until her retirement in 1954.
I know that Burbank was born in Niagara Falls NY but would like to determine her date of birth (probably 1894/95). I also believe that she died in 1989 but haven't been able to confirm that or to determine where she died. I would also be interested in any other biographical information that is available.
Thanks you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
