Gladys Kierstead
Found this one really interesting. Gladys was born Oct 10, 1893 to Jared and Amy (Hayes) Kierstead in Essex NJ. In Nov 1919 she applies for a passport, granted in December to travel to Chili to be married. Her application notes her profession as "Cooking Teacher". She departs New York, New Years Eve 1919 aboard the Santa Ana.
[This was apparently the trip during which she learned how to make salsa. - tterrace]

I cannot imagine eating anything prepared in such a filthy environment. Everything looks grime covered. No wonder diarrhea and other food born diseases were such a major killer back then.
