This is a copy of a photo of my mother. She graduted from Eastern State Normal School. She taught all her life after my sister and I were in school. She loved teaching and her students often dropped by our home to say "hi". My mother played the piano and I recall falling to sleep while my mother played and sang songs of the day. She had a wonderful singing voice and was in a review that the teachers put on for the parents. She also spoke of her fellow teacher, Peter Webb, when he was retiring to a new job. My mother and father would sing together ,as we rode in the car, when we were children. I think mostly to keep us quiet. It is a good memory. On her death I received many cards from her past students. One letter from a lawyer said,"that if your mother hadn't made/taught me to read I would never be where I am today". That is a small bit info on the life of my mother.
