Innov8iv I am so thankful for the recent edits to the article. There are some great corrections or better wording. I love that Gladys was involved in identifying necessary edits. I am so amazed at all she has done and her wonderful outlook. So, I am here to help get this right for her and the others you mentioned -- that are also in keeping with Wikipedia guidelines.
There is a problem, though, where information was changed that came from a cited source without adding a new source (and generally I clarify the difference of info in a note).
I will go back to
edits made here and make the grammar or word usage that doesn't change the overall meaning and take care of those very easily.
Then, the next step is to find sources for new information. That's where things can get a little tricky, but let's see what can be found.–

Update: I made some more edits trying to get to close as what you were looking for that is still in line with the cited sources. For instance, where there were qualifiers that aren't in the source I tried to get as close as I could - like "During her first year, she was the lone woman among male interns." - from the source I changed it to "She was the lone woman among male interns, but she learned to manage the experience by remembering her father's advice to 'never give up'"
In a couple of places I took snipets out from the source and put them in quotes, like instead of "all sorts of medical care", I changed it to "Gladys saw her parents treat 'every imaginable affliction.'"
I did the best I could with the children. I went back to Powers pages 9 and 10 and tried to simplify the sentence a bit but there's still a difference between the source and your edits of when Bob was born. To make it simple, I just listed the six children's names.
I removed personal life content that is preferred not to be in the article. I left in just once sentence about the divorce, otherwise it would be kind of confusing for anyone who goes back to the sources... and then who knows what would get added.
There are some that are going to require a bit more research:
Update: I am seeing Gladys in Topeka in 1952 (The Evening Review, Mon, Mar 31, 1952, Page 3), but not William. So, I just removed the location and the sentence is worded "In 1952, William was drafted and served in the Air Force.[12]" This is Done–

I'll be back regarding the last three bullets.
Here's the difference between your requested edits (see {{
Edit COI}}) and what is in the article at the moment.
It would be good to know what you think of the edits that have been made so far... and whether you think more sources are needed if you want to change the content from what it is right now.–

I have Done all I can at the point.
This is the final difference between the requested edits and the current article. I hope you really like it!–

I made two more tweaks, adding "Reformed", with a source for that, and "village" in this sentence "settled in a Reformed Presbyterian mission north of New Delhi[2][3] in the village of Roorkee.[6][a]"
I haven't seen anything about "compound", though.–

I don't know. Perhaps you could google for contact info or the name of an organization she's still affiliated with - like The Foundation for Living Medicine.–
