Secretary at the Joseph Dixon Crucible Co.; a Jersey City directory indicated that she was a stenographer.

RJCarr (25 NOV 2007):
After graduation from high school Mildred was alleged to have been escorted around the corner by a nun and introduced to management at the Dixon Pencil factory where she was given a job as a stenographer. She would continue to work there for 50 years. She never married. She inherited an excellent coin collection that was stolen from her home late in her life. For Christmas she gave her nieces and nephews boxes of unpainted pencils from the Dixon Pencil company.

Wikipedia: In 1827, Joseph Dixon began his business in Salem,Massachusetts and, with his son, was involved with the Tantiusques granite mine in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Dixon discovered the merits of graphite as a stove polish and an additive in lubricants, foundry facings, brake linings, oil-less bearings, and non-corrosive paints.He also refined the use of graphite crucibles, refractory vessels used for melting metallic minerals. A heat-resistant graphite crucible he invented was widely used in the production of iron and steel during the Mexican-American War. This invention's success led Dixon to build a New Jersey crucible factory in 1847.

The Dixon Ticonderoga is a pencil model distributed by the Dixon Ticonderoga Company, which was originally located in downtown jersey city, New Jersey. While their products are akin to those of similar companies, because of the company's 19th century origins and large size this brand name has long been a fixture of life in the united states and elsewhere, especially for primary school children. during the 1860s, people typically wrote with quill pens and ink even though Dixon introduced graphite pencils in 1829. But the American Civil war created a demand for a dry, clean, portable writing instrument and led to the mass production of pencils. At the time of Joseph Dixon's death in 1869, the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company was the largest manufacturer of graphite products in the world. By 1870, The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company was the worlds largest dealer and consumer of graphite. By 1872 the Dixon company was making 86,000 pencils a day.

	Boquel, Mildred: 1916 Circle Club meeting Mildred hosted a Daisy Circle Club meeting at her parent's home at 544 Montgomery Street, Jesey City, NJ. While I can't find explicit reference, it appears that a Daisy Circle was a name for an early Girl Scout group...organized by Juliette "Daisy" Gordon in 1912. It would be the equivalent of a Cub Scout Den?
	Boquel, Mildred: 1987 Prayer card This prayer card was distributed to the friends and family of Mildred Marie Boquel by the Colonial Funeral Home in Manasquan, NJ.
	Boquel, Mildred: 1918 St Bridget Grammar School Graduation Mildred was reported graduating from St. Bridget's Grammar School "Commercial Class" on the evening of 27 June 1918. If commercial class is equivalent to secretarial school, that lends exceptional credence to the family story that she was accompanied by a nun the short 2.5 blocks north to the Dixon Pencil Company for employment! Mildred remained employed by Dixon for all of her years of employment.
