When America entered World War I (1917-18), the seminary girls were in demand at dances for the young servicemen stationed atCamp Gordon and Fort McPherson. At one such dance in the summer of 1918 Mitchell met twenty-two-year-old Lt. Clifford Henry, a wealthy and socially prominent New Yorker who was a bayonet instructor at Camp Gordon.
The two fell in love and became engaged shortly before he was shipped overseas.
He was killed in October 16th 1918 while fighting in France. While at Smith, she received word that Clifford died in the war. Soon after, her mother became ill with influenza, and Margaret rushed home to see her but didn`t make it in time.
