A Crop of Teachers

Teachers 1918
(Click on image to enlarge)
From the Hobart Gazette of Jan. 25, 1918.


A few modest items in the Ross Township Trustee's annual report for 1917 tell us that several local young women had fulfilled their hopes of becoming teachers: Jennie Chester, Pearl Ols and Elsie Gruel of Ainsworth, and Olive Wood of Deep River. Unfortunately, the report doesn't name the schools where they worked.

We see some familiar names elsewhere in the report, outside of the list of teachers.
