I recalled that I had not searched for my grandmother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1891-1977), with her maiden name in the San Diego newspapers.
Some tidbits popped up:
1) Emily graduated from Lincoln School in San Diego in June 1913. Here is the list of graduates (from San Diego Union, 25 June 1913, page 20):
2) Emily K. Auble participated in a Senior-Junior dance at San Diego High School in June 1915. Since she was not on the list of graduates, I assume she was a Junior ("150 Senior Pupils Entertained by Junior Class," San Diego Union, 12 June 1915, page 3):
3) I was not familiar with the location of Lincoln School in 1913. I Googled ["city directory" "san Diego" 1913] and found the 1917 San Diego city Directory (full text) on the Internet Archive site (www.archive.org). I did a Ctrl-F, entered "lincoln school" and quickly saw:
Lincoln School was on the east side of 12th, between E and F Streets. I know where that is! That block is now part of San Diego City College. It was only two blocks from their home at 14th and F Streets.
Another previously unknown problem solved... now I'm done for the night!
