Teacher Eleanor Morrill above with her class and in an image to the right.
She was “Aunty” to local resident Roger Heath and a sister to Bernice mentioned below.
“She was very much a Victorian or at least an Edwardian and spoke in an Eleanor Roosevelt kind of way. She taught all of her life in many different venues. She often visited with us at vacation time and brought copies of coloring pages to celebrate the holiday: Angels and trees at Christmas, Easter bunnies and eggs at Easter and so on which we colored. She once told me one of her earliest memories of watching Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.”-Roger Heath
