She joined the Marine Corps Reserve in 1918, officially becoming the first female Marine.[3] Early yearsOpha May Jacob was born on 4 May 1878 in Kokomo, Indiana.[1] She graduated from the shorthand and typewriting department of Wood's Commercial College in Washington, D.C. in 1895.[4] As salutatorian of her class, she "entertained the audience with a carefully prepared paper."[5] Jacob married Victor Hugo Johnson (1873–1950) on 20 December 1898 at the Sixth Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.[6] At the time of their marriage, Victor Johnson was the musical director at the Lafayette Square Opera House.[7] Prior to joining the Marines, Johnson was in the Civil Service,[9][10] working for the Interstate Commerce Commission.[8] Military serviceJohnson became the first known woman to enlist in the Marine Corps on 13 August 1918, when she joined the Marine Corps Reserve during World War I.[9] Johnson, due to being first in line that day,[10] was the first of over 300 women to enlist in the Marine Corps Reserve during World War I. According to 1918 newspaper articles, as well as the published history of Women Marines in World War I, Johnson's first duties were as a clerk at Headquarters Marine Corps, managing the records of other female reservists who joined after she did.[3][9][10][8] She was promoted to Sergeant in September 1918,[1] and was the highest ranking woman in the Marine Corps during her time in service.[11] On 11 July 1919, the American Legion granted a charter to the first post of women's Marine Corps reservists. Known as Belleau Wood Post No. 1, its membership consisted of 90 women who had worked at Headquarters Marine Corps.[12] Johnson was a charter member of this post.[13] At the end of World War I the Marine Corps, like all services, began the steady disenrollment of women, including Johnson, from active service.[3] After her brief military career, she became a clerk in the War Department,[14] still working for the Marine Corps as a civil servant until retiring in 1943.[1] Common biographical errorsMarine Corps historians have pointed out that errors concerning the first official female Marine have been circulated and published, the first of which concerns her middle name. Although many have identified the spelling of her middle name as Mae, her middle name is actually spelled May. That is the way she penned it in on the applicant line of a Marine Corps Reserve form. As an official document, her full middle name was required on the form, and thus documented for historical reference.[1][15] The second fallacy typically published is her age when she enlisted. Although many report her birth year as 1900, placing her in her late teens at the time of her enlistment, historians cite her as being almost 40 when she enlisted. Various historical records and photographs verify that.[1][3][15] A third, more recent error involves her official photograph. Another well known photograph of three female Marine PFCs (Mary Kelly, May O'Keefe, and Ruth Spike) in 1918, was cropped to show just the center figure and published correctly as being May O'Keefe. At a later date, that cropped picture was erroneously attributed as being Opha May Johnson and subsequently used by otherwise reliable sources.[10][16] Death and burialJohnson died on 11 August 1955, at Mount Alto Veterans Hospital in Washington, D.C. Services were held at Warner E. Pumphrey Funeral Home on Saturday, 13 August 1955,[2] 37 years to the day from when she stood first in the line of women answering the call to become a U.S. Marine. Buried near her husband and parents in Rock Creek Cemetery, her grave was unmarked.[17] In late 2017 the Women Marines Association began raising funds to place a marker at her burial site.[18] In 29 August 2018, she received a grave marker.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news |last1=Waxman |first1=Olivia B. |title=The First Woman Was Sworn Into the Marine Corps a Century Ago.
