Jessie Thatcher Bost

---

In 1897 Jessie Thatcher became the first woman to graduate from Oklahoma A&M College. She received a bachelor's degree with the second graduating class.

After graduation, she taught in Stillwater schools until her marriage to Henry A. Bost in 1902. The young couple lived in Stillwater before moving to Alva, OK. During the ensuing years, Mrs. Bost and her husband raised a family in Alva and Cleveland, OK. She continued to teach school and, until her death in 1963, was active in community affairs as well as in those of her alma mater.

The Jessie Thatcher Bost Room was established by her son, Armon H. Bost, in 1991.
