Mamie Emma Rhoda Boatwright Burnett
 Mamie Emma Rhoda Boatwright Burnett was the sister-in-law of Julia Marcy Boatwright. She lived in Cloud County, Kansas, so she probably made the quilt square and mailed it, or else she made the square while visiting Jim and Julia Boatwright in Christian County, Missouri.

Mamie was born on 7 April, 1884 to Alexander Christopher and Mary Etta Jane (Beamon) Boatwright in Marysville, Marshall County, Kansas. She married Ralph Burnett, and they had the following children: Louise Mamie, Ralph Lewis, Melvin Charles, Raymond Pearl, Leslie Lorean, and Christopher Henry Burnett. Mamie's husband, Ralph, passed away in 1918, so Mamie was a single mother of her five children.

She was  a member of First Christian Church and the Order of the Eastern Star.

Mamie passed away in November 1977 and is buried in the Glasco Cemetery in Glasco, Cloud County, Kansas. Her husband and 4 children preceded her in death. She was survived by Louise Mamie, who passed away in 2003.

Ruth Irene (Baker) Moreland

Ruth Irene Baker was born on 6 April, 1902 in Mattoon, Illinois. She was the daughter of John W. and Cora (Lyons) Baker. Her family moved to Creston, Iowa, where she met and married Gayl Moreland. The family moved to McCracken, Christian County, Missouri, in 1936. The Morelands had three children, Harold, Robert, and Donald. Irene was the president of the Ozark PTA and was active in the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Springfield, Missouri.

In May 1945, there was a kerosene explosion at the Moreland home and the house caught on fire. Irene passed away on 27 May, 1945, from burns she received in the fire.

Below is a photo of the quilt square she made for the 1937 friendship quilt. Also, I have a link to a website that contains her obituary.
