career as a high school teacher. In November 1885 she took a class in Mind Cure from A.
J. Swarts while he was in Kalamazoo on a teaching circuit. Thayer became interested in
Christian Science through a student of a student of Mary Baker Eddy's and in August of
1886 wrote a letter to Eddy to inquire about taking a class from her, but there is no
