Lena M. Menzies (b. Choate) (1879-1945) was born in Vandalia, Missouri, and died in Highland Park, Michigan. As a child she lived with her family in Mason, Missouri, and then in Harbor Springs, Greenville, and Detroit, Michigan. Sometime after 1900 she moved with her parents to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, where she married John T. Menzies in 1905. He was a printer and photographer who later became a machinist and then an inspector in an automobile factory. After their marriage they lived in Detroit, moving to Greenfield, Michigan, by 1910 and finally settling in Highland Park by 1920. Both Menzies and her husband were deaf. It was for this condition that Menzies was given Christian Science treatment when a child by Mary E. Albright, a student of Annie M. Knott, who in turn was a student of Mary Baker Eddy. In 1886 Albright wrote a letter to Eddy discussing Menzies's case.
